The fate of the superfight scheduled by Ultimate for this year seems to be close to being confirmed. During the press conference that followed UFC 159, the organization's president, Dana White, stated that he had received a call from Anderson Silva in which the Brazilian spoke about his plans after the fight against Chris Weidman.
“Anderson called me and wants a fight,” said White, who responded positively when asked later if the opponent in question was the light heavyweight champion. Jon Jones or the welterweight title holder Georges St Pierre. The Brazilian, the North American and the Canadian, in that order, form the 'top 3′ of the UFC's weight-for-pound rankings.
Despite the good news for those hoping for a superfight between two of the three champions soon, Dana White was direct in stating that the fight is entirely dependent on the result of the fight between Silva and Weidman – at UFC 162, in July. “Anderson Silva is the key to the entire puzzle. If Weidman beats Anderson, it would destroy the entire concept of a superfight”, concluded the director.

Anderson Silva and the Great UFC Champion, the Fight With Jon Jones Would Be Better, but Anyone Who Comes With Anderson Silva in the Octagon is Always a Show….
There's no way, Jones is the best in his category and Anderson Silva is the best in his too, if this fight doesn't happen everyone will say that Anderson did it.
Sorry, it's my humble opinion.
Don't agree to fight against jon jones anderson silva. because he is the best fighter there is today.
