"Whatever the boss [UFC President Dana White] says, I sign underneath. If he thinks this fight is fair, then I think he's absolutely right. It was a fight I wanted to see; [but] Jones will swallow Sonnen. I spoke with Jones and told him that he can win the fight only with jabs, with one hand tied behind his back. The only person who can beat Jones today is Anderson [Silva]. He talked to me about Anderson, but I cannot say what, obviously."
-UFC on Fuel 8 headliner Wanderlei Silva gives his thoughts on Jon Jones, Chael Sonnen, and Anderson Silva in an interview with Sherdog.com.
Penick's Analysis: Wanderlei holds Jones in high regard, but he's not alone on that front. I don't know that Silva's the man to beat Jones, and honestly I think many would believe Jones is the one man who can beat Anderson. The fight may or may not ever happen, but for now Jones has Chael Sonnen to concentrate on. Wanderlei doesn't think he has to concentrate that hard, but that's where his focus will be nonetheless.
