How do you see Jones/Silva playing out

Sisti

Give us how you personally see the fight going down since this is the fight we all want to see...since they're not booking it, this is the most fun we could have

Entrances...

Jones comes out first pumped up and as confident as you could be when you are about to be locked in a cage with Silva

Silva comes out last relaxed and as confident as you could be when you are about to be locked in a cage with Jones

Goosebumps as the introductions are made

First round:

Fight stays standing for a couple of minutes. No one is quick to throw serious strikes...similar to Vitor/Silva. Silva gets a significant blow that almost takes Jones out, but Jones gets the takedown. Jones gets some serious gnp in before the round is over

Second round:

Jones goes for an early takedwonn and misses. Eventually gets the takedown and the stoppage via gnp!

Here's how I see it... Silva retires before the fight could ever happen, because let's face it... he won't fight anybody who he thinks has a chance to beat him... that's why he fought Bonnar, when Weidman was practically begging for a shot... I am not taking away anything from the skill of Anderson, but his "legacy" and being the greatest p4p ever, to me is a joke... Jones has consistently beat champion after champion impressively, and I think he would demolish Anderson, and Anderson knows this... That's why IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

some truth in this statement...mostly the part where silva doesn't fight people who have a chance of beating him. fighting bonnar, but not weidman was crazy. HOWEVER, he is **** LEGIT and would have a huuuuuge chance against Jones or anyone. I think this would be a pick em

The Bonnar fight was on short notice and there's absolutely no way that Silva and Weidman would have been ready to train and cut to 185 on time. You don't rush a title fight like that and it was never even on the table, let alone offered to either party. Basically, Andy said give me anyone who's up for it at 205 and Bonnar stepped up.

Silva is unimpressed by hits to the face.

One simply does not eat punches to the face on purpose


Unless you're Anderson Silva.

JoeTheGiggolo

Jones ragdolls Silva then, in rolls the RAIN........of Elbows, then.....OMG!!! There is Blood EVERYWHERE!

JDS_over_REEM

Silva via whatever he wants. That's coming from a fan of both.

MilesGunn

Bones is terrified of Silva, his performance would suffer alot from it.
Silva would make a statement with a first round TKO.

i've been watching all Jon Jones fights since last week, and i'm impressed.
it doesn't matter how good wrestler his opponent was, he would get outwrestled.

i think he will take anderson down a few times, but he couldn't finish a stoned matt hamill, how will him finish anderson the matrix silva? also, belfort almost got his arm, he should be afraid of anderson of his back.

we have to remember it's a 5 round fight, and they all start standing.
jon jones was almost untouchable so far, but that's because he fought mainly one dimensional strikers (our at least predictable ones).

both are very unorthodoxy and unpredictable, so i'm expecting both will be tagged many times.

and we know anderson silva can handle it. can jon jones?

i got AS via 3rd round (t)ko

Muzzle_rousey_please

Anderson will cement his legacy by fighting jones and retiring after he defeats bones via tko in the 2nd round

Machida is one of the best strikers EVER in MMA..

BYBrawl

The only way I could see Silva losing this one is if he flash kick KO Jones when he's doing his monkey crawl to start the match. DQ loss, of course.

Yesterdays_Hero

Jones takes him down and lands hellbows until the ref steps in

Trollsmasher

Even tough I think Silva is the superior striker, I just see Jones forcing the clinch and using his superior takedowns to take Silva down easily, and then begin raining those elbow of his.

Tahune

Jones wins By tko ( knee injury) by push- kicking the hell out of silva's lead leg. ;)

Gabri1985

Jones would pretty much take Silva down at will and then just pound him out.

x2sasa

jones will take him down, will pour elbows, referee will interfere, doctor will check jones' cut, it's super deep! AS won via tko(cut) PUNCHES AND ELBOWS BEHIND THE BACK doctor stoppage
