Um, there is absolutely zero chance Jones loses to Silva...not even close.

if Chael had no problem taking Silva down, why would Jones be any different. The difference is that once Jones gets him on his back, he can end the fight. Imagine 300+ Jones punches and elbows to Silva
Silva wins this fight 1 out of 10 times, maybe. be honest with yourselves....

wouldn't happen. bones (with some greg jackson planning) would be scared to lose and become a blanket.

Because we all know how good Stefan Bonnar REALLY is.
Really, it's not hard to 'minimalize' a guy who was ranked #26 or whatever it was. Lawl.

And Griffin was ranked #4 when Silva fought him (and had just lost the LHW title.)
Yet, "Silva never fought anyone worthwhile at LHW."

How much do you think it tarnishes his legacy?
There shouldn't be much shame going up to 205 against the probable LHW GOAT, who has yet to lose inside the octagon. (hammer was a win)
Say Silva goes up, they throw the fuark down, and Bones happens to come out on top...
Short-term...Long-term...what do you think happens to Silva's legacy?

jones would destroy silva

You indirectly compared Bonnar to Jones.
Anything you say is thus invalid.

It wouldn't tarnish his legacy at all to me. I'd respect him alot just for being up to the challenge
