Dana White (photo) announces that she will fight between GSP and Anderson in May 2013
Anderson Silva announced last week that he would like to take a break from the UFC until the end of 2013, but the organization's president, Dana White, apparently, will not give the Brazilian this entire period. In an interview with North American ESPN, the director stated that the “Spider” will watch UFC 154, this Saturday, in Canada, and if Georges St Pierre win Carlos Condit the duel between the two most dominant Ultimate champions will take place in the first half of next year.

"He (Anderson Silva) said he would not fight Chael Sonnen again, but fought. He always says these things, I don't know why he does it. I guarantee, Anderson will be there on Saturday. If Georges St-Pierre wins, the two will fight, and it will probably be in May,” said White.
The president also made a point of highlighting that the duel between Anderson and GSP will be the biggest fight in the organization's history and he intends to hold the show in a football stadium and break the organization's attendance record of 55 tickets sold at UFC129.

“This will probably be the biggest fight in UFC history. It will definitely be the biggest paying audience. We did 55 grand in Toronto with Georges before. We had big crowds practically everywhere we went, but this would either be at a football stadium in Brazil, or at the Cowboys Stadium (in Dallas, in the United States) or we would do it in Toronto again. We’re curious to see what we can do,” added Dana White.

The fight of the year would be Anderson and Jones, but Anderson doesn't want to, and wants to face Geoge because he's weaker than Jones.
