1. pull jones from TUF and find a replacement for oposing coach Sonnen.
2. make this fight happen
3.Perfect time to get some order in the middle weight divison
Bisping vs. Weidman/boestch winner for next shot. Belcher vs. Belfort for the following title match.

| I like the way you think.
Replacement for Jones?? Dan Henderson, Machida. Winner gets next title shot. | |

| Yeah i dont know why but jones/silva sounds alot better to me than GSP/Silva.
Probably cause of there styles both jones and silva have great striking and good ground games. I know GSP has a good stnd up as well but i highly doubt he would go that route if he fought Silva.I think GSP would highly rely on his wrestling and try to avoid trading with Silva. I could see Jones and Silva trading leather though. | |

| I'm guessing Silva knows that Jones can't cut anywhere below 205, so he made this statement. None the less this would be awesome! | |

| But seriously, Silva already walks around at 220-ish. IMO, it would be equally tough for Silva to cut down much more than 185.... especially given his age. | |

| So where would the catch weight be? 200? I can't see Jones getting down anywhere bellow that... Maybe 195? | |

| 195 seems to be the staple catchweight. Although, they could potentially set it at whatever is agreed upon.
Does Jones actually want this fight?? | |

| I'll be expecting some sort of entitled, arrogant, self-righteous response from Jones within a few days. | |

| ^ I would love to hear Jones say anything along the lines that he is unworthy of the fight and that didnt make sense. We all know the money will be there so that excuse cant be in the mix. | |

| Jones won't do it no matter what. Mark my words, he will find some reason- any reason- not to take this fight. | |
