LAS VEGAS – Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva ‘s world got turned upside down on Saturday, as did Dana White’s. However, the UFC president said it didn’t necessarily halt plans for a potential boxing match between Silva and veteran boxer Roy Jones Jr. Prior to Saturday’s UFC 162 pay-per-view event in Las Vegas, White discussed the possibility of the 38-year-old Brazilian testing his boxing chops against 44-year-old Jones, largely at Silva’s request. And just because Silva suffered a second-round TKO loss and surrendered his belt to Chris Weidman , the boxing possibility isn’t necessarily on the shelf, he said. “Oh no,” White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) when asked about it. “Roy is still saying, ‘Let me tell you what we can do.’ He was saying all kinds of s—. He still wants that fight.” Jones was cageside for Saturday’s event and met with White.
