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.
