In hindsight, were they really that tight? Now Jones is pretty much saying the same ish about fighting Anderson that he said about fighting Rashad and they don't even train in the same city or live in the same country most of the time!

I can understand 38 year old Anderson Silva not wanting to fight a bigger, faster, stronger and younger version of himself (especially when he's only got two fights left on his current deal and could potentially slay one more Middleweight and GSP before retiring or sticking Dana up for more money), but Jones can't seriously call himself a business man and not want to take on the Greatest of All Time.

Imagine the paycheck and the publicity/hype that Nike would give to him if that fight were to take place in Texas Stadium. It would be one of the most profitable events in the history of all combat sports and probably end up second only to Pacquiao/Mayweather.
