I mean no disrespect by this...I'm not into trash talking. But its an utter joke simply to imply Silva would have no shot against Jones. Seriously, a joke. You wouldn't last one post on an MMA forum. They would chew you up just for that. Secondly, to imply Forrest Griffin is a nobody. That...is a joke. He's a former champion and has beaten some of the best fighters in the world. He's also a gigantic LHW, and Silva obviously made a fool of him...so there goes the argument that size trumps Silva. Griffin goes into a fight bigger than Jones does. Chael Sonen? Best wrestler in mixed martial arts. Jones isn't even close. So to assume Jones could dominate Silva based on Sonnen's smothering style? Inaccurate. Take it all into consideration...it shouldn't even be stated that Silva would have "no chance" against Jones. Its sheer nonsense that you'd expect to hear from a pimply 12 year old obsessed with Jones rather than MMA. By the way...Brock Lesnar is unstoppable...nobody can out-strike him.

Please tell me where I said Forrest Griffin was not a good fighter. I have been on the MMA boards and my knowledge of the UFC is better than most. But as you stated he has proven himself as a Light Heavyweight and I am asking how is that? Just because you fight 2 fights in that weight class one being a good fighter and the other being a nobody dosen't make you a proven fighter for that weight class. As far as 185 Lbs their is no beter than Siva. He made Rich Franklin move up in weight after he beat him 2 times bad and if you honestly wanna say he beat him 3 times as Franklin was saved by the bell in the 2nd fight only to get whipped more the next round. You have not shown me anything as to why you believe Silva would win. Now lets look at this if you look at his major Opponents size and reach the best they did was match him. Then if you look below that you will see Jon Jones size and reach and wow look at that a 7 and a half reach advantage for Jones and you don't think that you matter not to mention 2 inches taller and I am sure a pretty big weight difference and I know we have already mention the strength avantage for Jones and he would have a huge advantage on the ground as well. But no none of this matters to you because he is a better fighter in your eyes. I just see to many disavantages for Silva to overcome and I am not saying he would never win but I would say 8 out of 10 times the winner would be Jon Jones. Just to much size, strength, and reach advantage for Silva to pick him apart like he did Griffin who is a slower fighter than Jone Jones as well hence the reason Silva had his way with Griffin as they had the same reach advantage. Fighting is about exploting someones weakness and everyone know Silva is weak in wrestling and no one know what weakness Jon Jones has as he has never been exposed. Machida is supposed to be elusive and Jones got to him and oh yeah isn't that one of Silva's training partners?
