NEWARK, N.J. – With newly crowned UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones’ dominating UFC 128 win over ex-champ Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, the fantasy matchmakers already are at work.
And though Jones hasn’t made a single title defense, fans are already anticipating a slew of matchups, including one with middleweight champ and fellow pound-for-pound-rankings darling Anderson Silva.
But UFC president Dana White said that fight currently is no more likely than Silva vs. welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre.
