Anderson (left) establishes price for fight against Jones (right): 50% of UFC
Whenever Anderson Silva is interviewed in various places around the world, the question is the same: when will he fight against Jon Jones. UFC president Dana White has already stated that the duel would generate millions of dollars for the fighters and the organization. But, for the confrontation to happen, the Brazilian wants more.
In an interview with the CQC program, on TV Bandeirantes, Anderson established the price for the fight against the light heavyweight champion: 50% of the UFC.
“That question (about facing Jones) has to be asked of Dana White. Let's ask if he will give me 50% of the UFC. If he does, maybe this fight will happen”, said the Brazilian, answering whether he will continue his career after the end of his contract with the organization, which foresees two more duels.
“I have my projects outside the UFC and I want to put them into practice. I'm opening my (martial art) school in Los Angeles. I want to do my thing, get some air, have time with my family. I have more to do than just get punched in the face. I’m already a big uncle”, added the Brazilian.

great Anderson, because only Spider has to change categories, why don't you put Jones against Cigano?
If they want the fight, they will have to pay!
I've seen this film with Rickson Gracie.
He asks for absurd amounts, because he knows it's the best way to not have to fight.
