Dana White is targeting May for Georges St-Pierre vs. Anderson Silva – UFC News
UFC president Dana White is targeting May for a super-fight between welterweight titlist Georges St-Pierre and middleweight champion Anderson Silva, if ‘The Rush’ wins at UFC 154 against Carlos Condit.
White is hoping for Georges St-Pierre victory against Condit, so that UFC’s first ever super-fight comes into making. Dana White has also asserted that if Condit wins he would not face Silva but he would fight other contenders in the division.
“It'll probably be the biggest fight in UFC history,” said White while talking about a potential fight between GSP and Silva. “It'll definitely be the biggest gate.
“He said he wouldn't fight Chael Sonnen again either, but he did,” he added. “He always comes out and says this stuff. I don't know why he does it or why he says the things he says. I guarantee you, he will be there Saturday. If Georges St-Pierre wins, those
two will fight and it's probably going to be in May.”
White also asserted that the UFC is looking forward to a potential fight between light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
“You know, every time we do a card, I'd like to say we'll sell it out with the right fight,” he added.
Although White knows Silva is not really interest in fighting Jones, still he wishes to keep it that way. According to White, Silva always says no initially but later he makes his way into it. White now is looking forward to put Georges St-Pierre against
Silva and later on Jones.
For now, the president is hopeful that GSP would defend his title against Condit and make it to Silva by May. As White has already indicated, 2013 would be a year of super-fights for the UFC. He is looking forward to putting GSP against Silva and at the
same time bringing WMMA in UFC. White is hopeful that he would accomplish both of these tasks next year.
Georges St-Pierre takes on Carlos Condit tomorrow, Saturday, at UFC 154 in Montreal. Anderson Silva will always be present in the arena, and chances are that he might challenge GSP for a fight.
