UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has won a couple of light heavyweight bouts in the UFC and he made it look easy. But he’s not interested in fighting at 205lbs in the future out of respect to his LHW teammates Lyoto Machida, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Rafael “Feijao” Cavalcante. He thinks Jon Jones will hold the belt for a very long time: [at the 20 min mark]
“Sometimes I look at Jon Jones fight and I remember me when I started to fight. I remember. I like Jon Jones. He’s a good guy. He has great focus for training, for working. That’s it. My opinion is Jon Jones is staying with the belt for a long time. I finish my career in my class.”
