Wonder why Anderson Silva is so shy about fighting Jon Jones. The quality of Silva's opponents the last few years have sucked. He's great, so make him prove he's the greatest against a great opponent. Jones would win regardless.

Yeah I would definately have Jones as the favorite over Silva but no way would I count him out.
After watching the UFC 153 post fight press conference Anderson wants nothing to do with Jon Jones. He is coming up with every excuse in the book "other fighters deserve the fight" "I dont care about big money fights" "I want to fight gsp"
If Jones would just step up and call him out it would get the ball rolling but I think Jones is a little hesitant and scared of Silva as well so it keeps a good mutual respect between them.

Isn't Silva in a lighter weight class to Jones?

It looks like White thinks they (Jones vs Silva) may fight.
At the 1:08 mark a reporter asks the question.

I don't believe Anderson is against it, I think once this fight happens then there is little reason to watch UFC.
All the characters have left the sport.

He also doesn't want Weidman which I can understand. Weidman could use one more big win before he deserves a shot.
