The spider is of course past his prime and especially after his leg snapped against Weidman we'd ever see him at top fighting condition before the break. And even if Silva won against Weidman, by the time Jones comes out of indefinite suspension (if ever) Silver maybe pushing 40. EDIT: correction sorry he's already 40.
So the question, Do you think Silva in his prime would match Jon Jones if they fought? Who would win and what are your thoughts on it?

Tough to say, Silva just seemed to have magical knockout power, I remember the fight with Forrest Griffin and it just seemed unreal what he was able to do. But then again Jones has the height and weight advantage, so if Chael Sonnen was able to neutralise Silva for almost 5 rounds in their first fight back in 2010 then my money would probably be on Jones. Neither outcome would surprise me though.
