They're in different divisions, I wouldn't really call it ducking. By that logic, Anderson ducked Jon Jones.

The fight against Jones was never proposed, GSP/Silva was multiple times with GSP ummming and ahhhhhhhing about needing years to add muscle. You can tell when a fighter wants a fight and doesn't he clearly wanted no part of silva

Stop it

Khabib vs Tony not being 5 rounds seems criminal. fukk that Wonderboy rematch

And Silva wanted no part of Jones. A lot of people including a bunch of media/press brought up a potential match between the two.

I don't consider either situation as ducking (GSP/Anderson and Anderson/Jones).

People say GSP ducked Anderson because Anderson called GSP out and GSP didnt dismiss it for years.

But calling out somone from a lower weight division is a bytch move

Tell me a time Dana ever said if either Jones or Silva won against whoever they will face each other, because I vividly remember when he did for gsp/anderson

Stop it

Dana knew Anderson wanted absolutely no part of Jones. Anybody who closely followed MMA would tell you the same.

I'm a big Anderson fan, but when he said he won't fight Jones because they're 'very good/close friends' that made me

Anderson also wanted no part of Shogun when he (Shogun) was the champion. Shogun said he was down to fight Anderson multiple times and Anderson was like

I wouldn't call it a bytch move, but Anderson has a tendency of calling out smaller fighters (GSP and McGregor)

Makes sense.

Oh fukk...it's not even for the billionth interim belt? 3 rounds and Tony is basically screwed.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

As if Jones can't take down the smaller Silva at will. No one wants to see him get mauled for a 5 rounds, rather see Jones at HW.

I checked...it is for the interim title, so 5 rounds.
