During the years of Anderson Silva in the middleweights and Georges St Pierre At welterweight, one of MMA fans' biggest wishes was a superfight between the two UFC champions. However, with the Canadian's withdrawal from the sport and the loss of the belt, and subsequent fracture in the Brazilian's left leg, the dream became increasingly distant. The fans, however, gained a reason to believe again in the early hours of this Sunday (01), when, right after Anderson's victory over Nick Diaz At UFC 183, president Dana White revealed that he has resumed negotiations so that the fight can finally take place.

And I’m sure Anderson would do it too”, said the director, at a press conference in Las Vegas (USA).
