LAS VEGAS – Anderson Silva hasn’t been shy about saying he’s interested in a fight against boxer Roy Jones Jr. And the buzz around that potential may reach a fever pitch this weekend. UFC President Dana White on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) Jones will be the UFC’s guest on Saturday at UFC 162 in Las Vegas – and that the two are “talking.” White didn’t elaborate on just what “talking” entails. Could that mean an MMA bout between Silva and Jones? Or, perhaps less likely, a special boxing match between the two? The specifics are up in the air. But that White admitted he’s talking to the boxer is a step in the right direction. White in 2009 said no to the possibility of the matchup happening when Jones first brought it to the table.

UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson now is a restricted free agent and is negotiating with the promotion on his next contract, according to his rep. Manager Mike Kogan today indicated that a deal should get done before Nelson’s exclusive negotiating period ends at the end of August, when he may entertain offers from other promotions. “The length of his exclusive negotiating period isn’t really a factor right now,” Kogan told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “We’re actively talking. I’m sure it’s not going to take a few months to make a deal, if there is a deal to be made.” Specifics of the negotiations remain a closed-door conversation.
