Anyone else think Jon Jones is a douche?

Silva and GSP are still ranked above him as the best in the world by Sherdog and most other organizations. Silva has fought at 205 but neither of their camps wants the fight. For him to duck Sonnen and then fight a washup like Belfort 2 weeks later is ridic. They should make him fight JDS at catchweight as punishment shocked

Wrong! Anderson Silva offered to fight Jon Jones on 8 days notice for UFC 151, but the UFC just cancelled the event 1 hour prior to Silva's phone call to the president. Anderson would destroy Jon Jones and we almost got to see it.

He didn't offer to fight Jones, it's in one of the latter paragraphs. I read an article about a month ago that is a good read if I could find it. They basically say that Jones and Silva both have too much to lose and that their managers don't want the fight. Jones could lose to a smaller fighter, and Silva could lose his rank as the best fighter in the world to a larger man.
