GSP vs Silva in Dallas?

[Mr. IWS]

A victory by UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre on Nov. 17 over interim titleholder Carlos Condit could set up a superfight with middleweight champ Anderson Silvaat Cowboys Stadium, promotion president Dana White said Wednesday."If Georges St. Pierre against Anderson Silva were to happen that's the fight you could do at Cowboys Stadium," White said during a media call to promote UFC 154 in Montreal. "We've been talking to (Cowboys Stadium officials) for a while. They're pumped and ready whenever we can bring an event there. They're ready for it."

White has two other options if a Cowboys Stadium deal can't be finalized. He is looking at Toronto, where Rogers Centre is located, or a soccer stadium in Brazil.
UFC set a promotion record of 55,724 people at Rogers Centre on April 30, 2011. It's where St. Pierre defeated Jake Shields by unanimous decision at UFC 129.
St. Pierre faces Condit at Bell Centre in Montreal. It will be St. Pierre's first fight since his win over Shields.
White did not offer a possible fight date for a Silva-St. Pierre bout.
The yearlong layoff by St. Pierre has White hesitant to speak too much about a showdown with Silva. One thing that is certain, a victory over St. Pierre will not land Condit a fight against Silva.
"People keep asking me, 'is the Anderson Silva fight happening next (for St. Pierre)?' He's got to beat Carlos Condit first," White said. "People are overlooking Carlos Condit and that's a bad idea.
"Understand that this fight between Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre is a pound-for-pound fight," White added. "Both of these guys have been No. 1 or No. 2, either way you want to call them, for the last however many years. That's really what the fight is all about. If Carlos Condit wins the fight, he'll defend the title against whoever's next."
Welterweight contenders Johny Hendricks and Martin Kampmann meet in the UFC 154 co-feature bout. The bout has been billed as a welterweight title eliminator.
White, however, isn't guaranteeing that the Hendricks-Kampmann winner will be next in line to fight for the 170-pound title.
"I have no idea (about the Hendricks-Kampmann winner), White said. "We have to see how this thing (St. Pierre-Condit) plays out."

All I can say is that this fucking fight should've gone down a year or two ago. I still want to see it, and would still be enthusiastic about it, but they've passed the point of it being as big of a draw as it could be.

Also, it's been announced as being almost finalized so many times that's hard to take these announcements seriously anymore. But who knows, maybe this is the one.

But if it does go down, war GSP.

Watch Condit win. Dana would be so pissed. They would sell a million ppv's easy on that fight.

[SPX]

I will be very surprised if Condit wins. I already have money on GSP.

[edman5555]

Condit is pretty badass. He can stop a fight at any time and he has insane cardio to go full pace for 25 minutes.

If this happens in 2013, I'll go to it.

Also, on a super fight note... how awesome would this be?

[SPX]

It would be cool and all but Silva won't do it.

[edman5555]

Jones would have the advantage.
