Anderson Silva and Roy Jones Jr. have both teased a showdown with one another in the boxing ring over the past few months.

However, Silva's issues with USADA, after his failed drug test, have resulted in him being relegated to combat sports purgatory, so to speak. Regardless, the Silva vs. RJJ fight banter gained renewed steam after Silva's recent interview with TMZ--

“I’m just waiting for USADA and my lawyers,” Silva said. “And hopefully they came back soon for fight for Roy Jones...That’s my dream...Hopefully, this fight comes.”

While RJJ has retired from the sport of boxing, he recently confirmed that he'll come back only to fight Silva. This is a rumor worth keeping your eye on, as the fight could be a huge spectacle that could take place later this year.

Silva has indeed confirmed that he could be cleared as early as next month.
