If you thought Roy Jones Jr. would give up on competing in mixed martial arts just because the UFC (rightly) turned down his offer to tangle with Anderson Silva, you were wrong. However It seems there really isn't much room in MMA for Jones Jr., at least not yet.

Professional boxer Roy Jones Jr., in the latest attempt to organize a fight with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, has offered to fight "The Spider" in the UFC octagon instead of the boxing ring, but UFC President Dana White has nixed the contest.
