Silva still has no desire to move to LHW

Quote :

"There's always been a lot of talk about me moving up to 205," said Silva, who successfully has defended his title a UFC-record 10 times. "I know (UFC president) Dana (White) has talked about it and all the fans have talked about me moving up and facing Jon Jones.

"But it's something I've never wanted. I won't be pretentious and say that I'd want to move up, especially because there are other guys in the weight class and on our team like Rafael Feijao (Cavalcante) and (Antonio Rogerio) Minotoro Nogueira, guys who could potentially face Jon Jones in the future.

"What got me this far is that I'm grounded; my weight class is 185 and I'm 37 years old. I feel I need to be honest and continue to build what I've built and that is to keep defending my belt at 185."

Cue Freak and OU in 3......2......1

I'm fine with Spider staying at MW. I'm 100% for fighters competing at their optimum weight.

I wish Silva would make a run at the 205lb title before father time catches up with him.

Fans are so greedy. No appreciation.

I guess this is what I caught the tail end of on espn bottom line during the game last night. I saw something like "move up to face Jon Jones after fight with Stephan Bonnar" and I got excited. Funny how missing.a few words can totally ruin a dream. Bones vs spider is the biggest fight in the UFC imo.
