    Anderson Silva wants to fight RJJ

    Anderson Silver wants to fight RJJ in the boxing ring after his days of UFC is over.

    If Anderson Silva could fight one more time, who would want him to square off against? Georges St-Pierre? Jon Jones? While either one of those guys in a superfight would be on the top of our wish list, Silva has different plans. Very different plans. In an interview with the New York Post, The Spider said that before he ever entered the Octagon with either Jones or GSP, he would prefer to step into the ring and face a former boxing legend.

    “I think everyone’s got something they’re focused on and that’s my own desire, something I’d like to do,” Silva said through a translator. “Maybe one day when I’m done my UFC career I will box Roy Jones ... “That’s something I’d really be interested in, maybe [UFC president] Dana [White] should do this fight.”

    Silva does know that Jones is far from the boxer he used to be, right? We understand the desire to challenge yourself in a sport outside of your comfort zone, but c'mon Spider. You know you would beat RJJ. And it's not even close.

              Maybe because Roy doesn't train in MMA.

                I would buy it.. Without a doubt....
                But kimbo on the undercard,
                Zahir raheem vs SMoke gainer

                Im also the guy that bought the Tyson world tour where he just sparred a guy with head gear on and Tyson wore a t-shirt

                alot of guys will say they wont buy it but i dont believe them..
                plius the casual fans would eat it up, like they did when Toney fought in the ufc

                Everybody likes a train wreck

                  You can't be knocking out bums like Forrest Griffin and expect to box with RJJ. Ya just can't.
