Defeated, A. Silva could still face Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing fight, according to Dana White
The defeat of the now former middleweight champion Anderson Silva ruined the profitability of superfights against Georges St Pierre ou Jon Jones. On the other hand, the idea of a rematch against the current champion Chris Weidman is removed by the Brazilian, who said he no longer wanted to fight for the belt. The only solution left is a boxing match against Roy jones jr.
Still not knowing what to do with the record holder for most belt defenses in UFC history, organization president Dana White said, after the post-UFC 162 press conference, that he has not ruled out the possibility of promoting the boxing fight that Anderson dreams of. in doing.
"Oh no. Roy is still saying we can do it,” White told MMAjunkie. “He still wants this fight.”
Roy Jones Jr. was present at the MGM Grand, sitting next to the octagon, as a special guest of the UFC. According to the president, the boxer got excited at the end of the first round, saying that Anderson had managed to psychologically bother Weidman.
“Roy said, 'He (Weidman) is finished! He's finished! He (Anderson) messed with his head. This fight is already over. The fight is over now in this round!' Roy was trying to say that Silva would win. Then, in the second round, that whole side of the arena was saying, “What the f…'”

Good night!
Regarding this fight, it was very clear that something disturbed him so much that he allowed himself to be knocked out. It is more than evident that the MMA Administration did not want Anderson to be victorious. And he made that very clear, however the comment is that he was careless... Dude, Anderson is the best fighter of all time, let's get to the facts, Mr Dana White.
Good night people,
Without this story of selling fights, SPIDER lost and that's it, he played too much and lost………..what happens.!!!!! Now saying it's a setup is a joke, he took a left cross to the jaw and fell and that was that. If he were to set something up, he would lose by submission, for example. He is not unbeatable. He finally made the mistake of playing too much and embarrassed himself by losing by knockout.
Yes, my chará… Something disturbed him, yes, arrogance, imbecility, and unpreparedness.
