Quotes from Anderson Silva on Jones vs Belfort:
“It’s difficult, because Jon Jones has a larger-than-normal wingspan and he’s still very young, He’s still in the phase where he’s playing during the fight, really, but he doesn’t have the responsibility of a champion. He fights with delight, jokingly, striking like I did back in 1930, when I started, Vitor has a great chance to defeat him. The biggest factor for Vitor is to use his explosiveness and his jiu-jitsu, where he is very good. But I think when one of them makes a mistake, the other will end up striking.”
“As a Brazilian, I’ll be rooting for the Brazilian, even though I have a very good friendship with Jon Jones, Whenever I’m with him, I ask him to conduct his career in a different way, because he is very young and is always asking me something. But I’ll be rooting for Brazil, yes. May the best man win, but I’m rooting for Brazil.”
“We’re in different weight classes and there are teammates from Team Nogueira who may face him, we have a code of conduct in our team, and I respect that a lot.”
I wonder if any of this will be enough to make Jon Jones want to fight Anderson now? Or if Machida loses to Jones again if Anderson would fight him? It’s a fight people want to see and there is nothing for Anderson at 185lbs anyway.
