Of the Joneses, UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is much more interested in the boxing great as an opponent than the current UFC light heavyweight champion.

Silva has made it clear it’s his dream to fight his idol Roy Jones Jr. and at 36 with “maybe five more years” in the MMA game, Silva still has the desire to box the 42-year-old Jones Jr.

“Maybe finish my contract for UFC, finish my fights in MMA, I’ll go,” Silva said Monday on The MMA Hour. “This is my goal for my career. It’s my dream — is to fight Roy Jones and boxing.”
