When former pound-for-pound king Roy Jones Jr. returned after an 18-month layoff to score a near-shutout decision win against unknown Zine Eddine Benmakhlouf on Dec. 21 in Moscow, he said there was a specific reason why he took the fight. Jones wanted to get the rust off to be ready for a fight he hoped would happen in the first part of 2014, a boxing showdown with MMA great Anderson Silva. The two are friendly and have expressed interest in fighting each other for the past few years, and there seemed to be a chance that it could happen.
