Anderson Silva Is Willing To Face Jon Jones In A Catchweight Bout

Following an interview between UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva and Brazilian news site Sportv.Globo.com, he stated he would meet Jones at catchweight.

People are talking about it….I don’t have such intentions, there isn’t any motive to do so, mostly because there are several people from my team who belong in his weight class (Antonio Rogerio ‘Minotouro’ Nogueira), (Fabio) Maldonado, (Rafael ‘Feijao’ Cavalcante’, (Wagner ‘Caldeirao’ Prado). My weight is 84kg, this is my title. But people talk so much, and some of those are UFC’s employees. Of course, I do not want to be talking, but if he accepts the money Dana offers him? It’ll be difficult. It isn’t the money that makes me do what I do, I fight because I like it. I don’t know…I would not. But if it happens, it would have to be in catch weight. His belt wouldn’t be on the line. I alredy have my title, I don’t want to leave a title dropped.
