Anderson Silva Says GSP Fight Will Happen: ‘It’s Dana White’s Wish” | UFC NEWS
“I hope this is my next fight. We want to do a super-fight. I drop a little weight and he goes up a little. It is going to happen anyway, it is Dana White’s wish. I think fighting him makes all the sense as well because he is a great name of the sport. As a UFC athlete I want to fight the best and St-Pierre is one of them. Then we try to put on a good show for the fans.”
In a recent interview with ESPN, UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva discussed the potential match up between himself and welterweight champion GSP.
But will Dana get his ‘wish’ or will GSP stick to his guns and stay at 170?

There’s something wrong with this site… I am not Borg and this is not my email… it was already filled in.
8ones vs The Spider would make more sense. Anderson is too big for GSP. I think if Bendo beats Nick Diaz, he should move up in weight to try to hold the lightweight and welterweight belt simultaneously. Bendo’s a big lightweight anyways.
Bendo is fighting NATE Diaz.
Don’t be an idiot. JONES VS DOS SANTOS. Jones is too big for Silva.
Bendo barely beat Edgar who’s 5ft6 (if he actually beat him…)… what make you think that he can move up in weight and succeed ?
I think he wouldn’t be in the top 5 at welterweight…
Yes bendo isn’t going to be a legend like jones or silva or maybe GSP. He’s just not good enough. He has a physical gift but he’s not good enough
I guess he’s really gunna dodge jbj his whole career. The g.o.a.t but still a ****n coward. Easy to drop for a smaller man. Let’s see u go up and actually fight someone that can give him a fight.
You mentioned dodging, kinda like Bones and the Heavyweight division. Is that same type of dodging your speaking of ?
Gsp will never fight silva and silva will never fight jones.its just not gonna happen.
For all of you bashing on him for not taking a fight with Jon Jones yet, you guys are ignorant. Anderson has already moved up and fought heavier guys and dominated and this GSP fight has been in the works for years now. In the next couple years we will se a JBJ vs the G.O.A.T fight, but this fight has been a long time coming
GSP has the same chance vs Spider that Spider has vs Bones…..
Take that how you will………..
I’ll take that with a Coke.
Georges St who? This would have been the bomb maybe 3-4 years ago but if I wanted to see a grandad fight a man who rarely does his job I’d queue at my local job centre.
Really? What weight class is Bonnar in?….Oh yea it’s LHW,too small for Jones what ev!
yeah and he got destroyed by jones to!
As DW said if you don’t like the fight that Zuffa put, don’t buy it please! And uncle dana states fans are moron! I’m not buying!
Hey pick on someone your own size silva
Hey ,pick on someone you own size, silva.
Hey Anderson stop calling out the smaller GSP you punk and call out jones you scared hoe cake
Silvas striking is so much better than jbjs. Even machida had better striking than jbj. And Belford already exposed jbjs weakness, which silvais pretty great at too
I think that Dana While will wait the outcome of BJ Penn vs Rory McDonald before putting on the GSP Silva superfight.
If Rory wins (I hope he wont), then he’ll be the next big draw for the Canadian Market. And White will be OK to sacrifice GSP
SERIOUSLY THIS IS A STUPID MATCHUP. it makes no sense at all. anderson silva covers all areas of GSP and has a huge advantage. Gsp’s weakness the stiff jab which silva excels at. it makes better sense for silva to face JBJ!!!
