Jon Jones has a significant reach advantage and overall frame advantage over guys in LHW so they want him in HW,but when it come to fighting a guy who truely is 2 weight classes smaller since there is no 195 weight class they have no problem.It's hypocrisy at it's finest.Jones fighting Silva would be like hving Nate Diaz fight Dominick Cruz.It's not like Silva has anything to prove either.He's faced the top guys in his weight class,in the biggest organization,for six years.

[YouMotivation]

You're asking Anderson to move up in weight? You know that's much harder than cutting down. Why don't you let Jones cut down huh? And Anderson doesn't care who he fought he's not ducking or dodging anybody

[bonerboy37]

you act like jones called him out and anderson is ignoring it and anderson is 37 hes getting older so he might retire

[lycanchimera]

at first i was, keyword is WAS, less ecstatic about this fight because originally it was supposed to be Faber vs Cruz.... later on as I saw clips of Barao, it occurred to me that he (Barao) proves to be the more dangerous challenger to Faber. Even if it were Cruz against Barao, seems like Barao is the most likely victor or if not the more dangerous than Cruz.

[coreyg45]

He fought forrest griffin and Hendo in LHW and you're saying he dodges fights and only takes fights he knows he can win? He just beat the man that beat his ass for 5 rounds, if he dodged fights, chael wouldn't have gotten a rematch. You're a fucking idiot if you even compare JJ to Silva

[DWALK916]

Faber used to be my favorite fighter because hes from my hometown trains here and I loved the way he represented our city but now I see him as just somebody that used to be a great fighter, use to be the best, now he's just another fighter too fill the card. I used to love to watch him fight on WEC now it seems with the UFC merge thing he's fell off A LOT. He's a has been, reminds me of a Chuck Liddell

[silahliseseri]

are you retarded anderson silvas walk around weight is around 208 so i dont think its an issue for him

[mansfieldout]

ALDO IS WAAAAAAY BETTER THAN BARAO. Also, Why are people talking about Silva vs Jones..Not ever happening...

[philharmonik77]

If Aldo can't finish Faber, what makes you think Renan will? Just sayin. This fight will probably be a good back and forth affair.

[None Of Ur Bnizz]

Faber is done. Renan is gonna walk through him like a day in the park.

[Corey Brown]

seriously faber by sub though my boy
