Anderson Silva moved up to the light heavyweight division to headline UFC Rio 3 and save the show, which was unattractive after the injury to José Aldo. But despite being in the category where Jon Jones is the champion, the duel between the Brazilian and the North American should not happen.
Anderson was asked if he would accept facing Jones even at a combined weight, between the middleweight divisions, where Silva is champion, and light heavyweight, but Anderson vehemently ruled it out.
“There are several possibilities, but fighting with the Jon Jones It’s one that’s out of the question,” said Anderson, at the press conference before UFC Rio 3.
Anderson Silva is scheduled to face Stephan bonnar in the main fight of UFC Rio 3, an event that takes place next Saturday (13), at the HSBC Arena, in the capital of Rio de Janeiro.
