I think they would do Silva vs. Jones if/when Silva is ready to retire and/or Jones has cleared out the LH division and is ready to move to HW.

The longer they wait, the more it favors Jones. Had they done it sooner, he would have been too green. As years go by, Jones will still be in his prime as Silva reaches "too old".


GSP vs. Silva would have been epic a few years ago. Pretty sure GSP gets the Canadian kicked out of him if they fight.

The UFC/Zuffa have a lot of money riding on Jones. Had they done Silva vs. Jones earlier, they would have lost a lot of PPV money no matter who lost. If they do it like I am thinking, if Jones loses to Silva, who cares, he cleared out the LH division, now move to HW and dominate there. If Silva loses, he retires with his only real loss to a much younger guy.

If Silva wins, he can retire and Zuffa sets up a fight for interim champ... Everyone is making $$$$$$$

I agree with GSP getting the Canadian beaten out of him vs. Silva. It's just not an interesting fight to me.
