    Superfight Jones vs Silva

    Look at this crap from Jon Jones on why he and Anderson Silva won't fight...

    Hard to know if that is the case or they are just holding out for the mega bucks.
    Fighters fight and all fighters wanna fight "Da man", whoever they may feel that is at any given time.
    Everyone wants to test themselves VS the best.
    BUT if there is too much mutal respect or even friendship, it may be hard to get "up" for the fight and since both are champs and both have the money, what is the motivation?
    Other than just seeing who is best.

    I just don't buy that, you're a professional fighter...MMA buddies have been fighting each other since the beginning and since when have fighters had enough or too much money??? Ever seen one of those guys retire wealthy?

    Hell I even fought one of my friends for free one time!

    The minute you get kicked in the head, I'm pretty sure you'll be up for the fight after that.

    If you want to be 'Da Man' you have to fight 'Da Man'.

    Sure and I agree and I think it's more about holding out for the right cash since a loss for either one could prove costly.

    I can understand what he's saying... It might be a ploy for money but, I could understand if it's not also. I look at it like this... one of them will have to leave their comfort zone (weight) for the fight to take place. Not every fighter can pull that off... even the greats can't always pull that off!
