Jon Jones vs Anderson Silva

Yep, after he defeated Vera I thought this guy (Jones) is outstanding and the only real opponent that he should face is Anderson Silva.  And now that he has devasted Rua and is the LW champion then there really is a market for this.
Anderson Silva didn't want to stay at 205 because back then Machida was the LW champion a.k.a. his friend (or best friend).  Now that Machida is no longer king of LW then the more reason Silva should go back at 205 and make the fight of the century.
I know people are looking at GSP vs Silva but I think Silva will just dominate St. Pierre.  Even if St. Pierre can put Silva down, I don't think GSP can knock out Silva (Sonnen tried for more than 4 rounds and was unable to even put Silva in danger).
So to me personally, I would rather see Jon Jones vs Anderson Silva.
They're almost equally matched in most aspects:
Height
Skillset
Unpredictability
Age
Charisma

I hope this is the fight that would happen instead of GSP.
