LAS VEGAS – By vanquishing chief rival Chael Sonnen at Saturday night’s
UFC 148 event, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva moved one step closer to cleaning out the company’s 185-pound
division.
In the past, every Silva win meant post-fight questions regarding a
potential bout with welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre, but nowadays,
MMA fans and pundits alike only want to know if “The Spider” will ever
face 205-pound titleholder Jon Jones.
Both Silva and Jones have expressed no interest in such a superfight, but UFC president Dana White doesn’t seem quite so sure.
