Dana White Says Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva Won't Happen

According to UFC president Dana White, the chances of witnessing a super-fight between respective champions Jon Jones and Anderson Silva are very slim. 

The outcry for the matchup escalated further following Jones' recent title defense against Quinton "Rampage" Jackson this past weekend at UFC 135, and some fans even favor it over a potential bout between Silva and UFC welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre. 

But White believes Jones still has a lot to accomplish at light heavyweight before there is any talk of a super-fight. 

"The problem is this (light heavyweight) division is stacked," White said during the UFC 135 post-fight press conference. 

"He has a lot of fights ahead of him," he added.

Jones carries a lot of similarities to the Brazilian, which has left fans convinced that the light heavyweight champion would actually be able to compete against Silva, who has remained undefeated since his UFC debut in 2006. 

Jones' recent victories over top competitors like Jackson, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Ryan Bader have led most fans to believe he will continue his dominance over the 205-pound division for awhile, and in turn, enjoy a lengthy title reign.

While fans might not get their wish to see the 24-year-old challenge "The Spider," there has been talk of Jones moving up to the heavyweight division in the near future. 

Jones will make his next title defense against Rashad Evans sometime next year.
