UFC champ Demetrious Johnson knew belt wasn’t safe even before Silva loss

UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson (17-2-1 MMA, 5-1-1 UFC) will walk into the cage next week at UFC on FOX 8 to defend his belt against challenger John Moraga (13-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), and already he knows one outcome of the fight in advance. Win or lose, Johnson will wind down from the rigors of fight camp by spending time with his wife and, perhaps, a new son. He’ll get back in the gym and start training, like he always does. And he’ll wait for the next fight, whether it be a title or non-title fight, name opponent or otherwise. Keep the belt or not, he’s resolved to both possibilities. “So far, it’s kept me to a point where if I lose the belt, I don’t go into deep depression,” Johnson told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “You have fighters that say, ‘There’s no way I’m going to lose this fight.’ Then when they do lose, ‘Oh my god, I lost.’ “I don’t need to do that.

Anderson Silva: “I’ve Always Wanted to Test Myself Against Roy Jones”

BAD MMA News — Wed, 26 Jun 2013 03:33:52 +0000

UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has publically stated over the last couple of years that he’d like to fight boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match at some point. On June 7, Jones Jr. told TMZ.com that he would “love to do it.” During a UFC 162: Silva vs. Weidman media conference call on Tuesday, Silva reiterated his desire to fight the 44-year-old former boxing champion. “Of course I want to fight him. Maybe after this fight with Weidman, regardless of the outcome, I would love to fight him. He’s already said that he would fight me also, so that’s something that I would really like to happen,” said the UFC champion. “I feel that his boxing style is one that I’d like to test myself against. I’ve always been a fan of his, and I just always wanted to test myself against Roy Jones.” Silva recently signed a 10-fight deal with the UFC, but at 38-years-old it’s uncertain if he’ll be able to fulfill the contract. “There’s a lot of possibilities of different things that could happen. But that’s a fight that I’ve always wanted. That’s a fight that I still want. We’re going to have to see how everything plays out and wait for the next chapter of Anderson Silva and the UFC,” said Silva. “Everything is a possibility, but really it’s going to come down to my willpower and my desire to still be fighting. I have a lot of other things that I want to do. I have other desires, and one of those is fighting Roy Jones. But we’re just going to have to see how things work out in the next few fights and how I feel,” he added.
