Wish he was able to make the jump during his youth-- but the UFC was ironclad slavery as a policy at the time.
There was no McGregor to talk his way into letting UFC open up the contracts a little.
I think he should decline any Roy Jones Jr talk, as he's firmly washed up (the Roy Jones shit just won't go away for some reason, and Silva is still entertaining it). Silva should fight someone still capable if he does this again. It's clear he can more than hang.
100% I wouldn't watch a Roy Jones fight. There is no fight left in him. Here's to hoping if Silva does do another sanctioned bout, that it's with someone 10 years younger than him because that's the level Silva is fighting on right now in the ring.
