I know there's already a thread on this, but this part of the article wasn't really mentioned in it and I think it's pretty important.

That's just 7 lbs up from MW. I think a 6'4 dude like Jones is gonna have an extremely hard time making 192. Is this just typical AS posturing, or is he making stipulations that he knows Jones can't meet?

http://sportv.globo.com/site/eventos/combate/noticia/2013/02/em-palestra-anderson-diz-que-deve-enfrentar-jon-jones-ainda-este-ano.html

Translation:

The lecture was held last Wednesday in Las Vegas, and was attended by Anderson, former player Rai, the announcer of TV Globo Galvão Bueno and his son, the pilot of Stock Car Caca Bueno. They answered the questions of those present, the company's employees, and at some point the fighter was asked about the matchup against Jon Jones. Besides confirming their willingness to face it and say that this should occur in 2013, said the Spider to be fighting at a weight of about 87kg intermediate and not worth nor his middleweight belt (up to 83.9 kg) nor the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg) Jones. Also according to the Brazilian, the idea is that the event takes place in New York City, where it has already exited the release of the State of New York to perform MMA tournaments there. If not, is there a chance of the stage being a soccer stadium in Brazil. The story was told by an official of that great Brazilian company the details of the lecture.

If that's as high as he's willing to go, then it's as good as him saying he doesn't want the fight. Jon isn't getting down to 192. You have ignored this user.

nolabrum 24 Member Since: 1/11/08 Posts: 1266	I would think 195 would make more sense. There have been a few catchweight fights in the UFC at 195. Either way I hope Jones and SIlva agree on a weight because this fight would be awesome to watch. You have ignored this user.

in_different 9 Member Since: 1/20/12 Posts: 1666	Calm down people. its just posturing. they will end up at 195 probably. The main point is that it will not be for a ufc title. and we know he is willing to make this fight happen You have ignored this user.

sparkuri 83 Member Since: 8/4/08 Posts: 13061	Jones camp: "I think we can make 195, but Jon will be near death" Silva camp: "Word is he'll be near death at 195. Let's offer 192." DFW camp:" Let out another UG Blog statement. This will keep those idiots talking for another week. Then release a "Fedor signed with UFC" on March 1st to mark the eleven month anniversary of April fools joke" You have ignored this user.

ThatKickDidntHuroooohhhhhhhh 355 Member Since: 9/16/12 Posts: 2796	Virus x - I dont blame Anderson for not wanting to fight Jones. A loss to Jones affects his legacy, But I think he should just say he dosnt want to fight Jones rather than making statements like this which he knows aint going to happen Agreed. I think it's an extremely tough fight for Andy, and I understand if he didn't want to take the fight You have ignored this user.
