Owner of the UFC middleweight belt since 2006, Anderson Silva does not hide his desire to have his next fight against the Canadian Georges St Pierre, champion of the welterweight division. But the president of the organization, Dana White, stated that the Brazilian's next opponent has not yet been defined and assured that in addition to GSP, Spider will face the North American Jon Jones, light heavyweight champion.

“I guarantee that Anderson Silva against Jon Jones it will happen for sure. It's happening and it will happen. The middleweight division is very exciting right now. I still don't know who Anderson's next opponent will be. We are waiting because he possibly wants to fight Georges St Pierre. Let's see what will happen. These two fights make sense”, said White, in an interview with the UFC Tonight program, which aired last night on the Fuel TV channel, in the United States.
Despite guaranteeing the confrontation against Jones, White praised the possible clash between Anderson and St Pierre, who for the top hat is as dominant as “Spider” in his category.

Anderson is the best in all styles, and by the way he's a good age but he can be very forceful in his fights...
my condolences, GSP!!
It's a shame to have a fight between a small fighter and a big guy
