Anderson (left) vs. St. Pierre (right) can have an audience of 100 thousand fans
The UFC already seems to be working towards a duel between Anderson Silva, champion of the middleweight division, and Georges St Pierre, owner of the welterweight belt. The president of the organization, Dana White, stated that both athletes want the duel and that he is already thinking about where the super fight between the champions will take place.
“We are very close to this: if Georges St Pierre win Carlos Condit, this could be the next fight. These guys (Anderson and St. Pierre) want to face each other now”, said Dana White, who is already considering the location where the fight would take place: the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington (Texas), a space in which the UFC could receive 100.000 fans. “If the fight takes place, it will probably be in Texas,” he added in an interview with the UFC Tonight program.
The fight between Anderson and GSP would be held at a combined weight, intermediate between the welterweight (up to 77 kg.) and middleweight (up to 84 kg.) division. The Brazilian had already agreed to reduce his weight for the duel.
