GSP to Lightweight? Does GSP Have Zero Curiosity about the Anderson Silva Fight?

It's no scarcity for fans and pundits to run out-of superlatives when trying to identify original UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre. Since joining the UFC in 2004, St-Pierre has employed brute strength, cat-like agility and an excellent intellect, among a number of other qualities,Ato enforce his will on the world's best 170-pounders. AfterAtemporarily losing his belt to Matt Serra at UFC 69,A"GSP" regained theAinterim title two fights later and then vindicated his attack to Serra at UFC 83. But seven direct title defenses later, and with St-Pierre standing alone atop the welterweight division,Ait looks a superfight between pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva and GSP will never come to fruition. Since Silva's 38 years of age andAprobably more likely to entertain a struggle with Jon Jones, and St-Pierre's undoubtedly on theAhomestretch of a career, GSP's reasonably in a better positionAto fall a weight class and get on light champ Benson Henderson. St-Pierre reaffirmed the theory that a struggle with Silva may very well maybe not occur because of fat problems on a bout of The Joe Rogan Experience in April: IAdon't do much cutting. It would be easier for fight to be gone by me at 155 than fighting at 185. I'd be much more at my weight obviously at 155.There is people at 155 that stroll around at 190 like me. They think I am big because I have a sizable body, but I'm not just a big man. I am perhaps not thick. St-Pierre also primarily saidAthat because of Silva's significant size edge, the fight would have to happen at a hook weight between 170 and 185. Anderson Silva is very large. He is 230 pounds. He's an extremely big man running around, and I'm 190 pounds. It's a lot of weight big difference. We are planning to need to determine what weight type and everything, if this struggle happens one day. For now though, Silva can only prepare for budding possibility Chris Weidman, who "The Spider" will lock horns with at UFC 162 this summer. St-Pierre, on the contrary, will in all probability experience heavy-hitting wrestler Johny Hendricks in his next bout, while GSP has gotten no official word yet from the UFC's metal on the bout's essentials. Granted, UFC president Dana White immediately squashed the idea of Henderson booming up to 170 to block of with St-Pierre, but White never nixed the idea of GSP descending to 155. So hypothetically, if St-Pierre could possibly get past Hendricks, then White may have no alternative but to permit GSP to simply take whatever superfight he mostAdesires before hisAbrilliant career is ended by him.
