I'm sure there will be a difference in opinion here, I personally however can't decide which fight i'd rather see or which fighter would have the best chance of taking Silva down. GSP is obviously more experienced and proven than Jones, however Jones has continuously dominated regardless of who he's faced.

No way Jones would go to middleweight.
Can i vote Okami? The guy doesn't deserve to get screwed over again!

TBH Jones silva wouldn't be the Super fight everyone thinks It would be, Jones would take him down and smash him IMO, Saying that maybe Jones's ego might think he could hang with Silva....
The only fight i want to see Silva take considering he won't move up is Okami or Sonnen.

I want to see him fight Okami and then Sonnen.
He'd KO GSP.
Not sure why Bones is being mentioned. He's not close to the top level. Silva vs a fit Shogun would be a great fight.

Sure, prime Shogun vs Silva would be great.
Can't see it happening in the near future though. I'd rather Silva moved up to LHW than GSP moved up to MW. GSP-Silva doesn't interest me too much, i think Silva KO's him relatively easily.
There are loads of good match-ups for Sliva at 205. Had Shogun beaten Jones, i'd have loved to see Shogun-Silva!

Silva would KO Jones simple as that.

Nothing is simple in MMA, if Jones was to use his wrestling effectivly he could well put Silva in a lot of trouble, given what we have seen from Silva on his back before. Plus with Jones having a reach advantage of over 7 inches against Silva, Silva would not be able to utilise his striking as well as he has done against past opponents that he has knocked out, fighters which a much shorter reach than Silva, which means they have to try and get on the inside of Silva, and therefore being prone to Silva nailing his opponents with knees and elbows. Jones would be able to stay on the outside, and take Silva out of his comfort zone, by making Silva need to push the pace, whereas he would much rather be a counter striker.
At this stage, I still think Silva would win, but if this fight was to happen in around a years time when Jones has gained more experience, Jones would have a huge chance.

He'd also dwarf Silva at 205

Why the hell is Silva- Jones (Middleweight) an option?

You should scrap that Silva-Jones middleweight option, and stick Silva-Okami on there. He deserves his shot, i'm bored of people winning #1 contenders matches then not getting their title shot.

I stuck Silva Jones (Middleweight) on there just as an additional option instead of Silva being the only one to move up. I'm not sure how to revise the options now though to add Okami on there, happy to do so if someone can direct me!

I don't think you can edit a poll once it's posted.
