With all the talk surrounding a potential Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre super fight, the UFC would like to send a reminder out that St-Pierre still has to face Jake Shields at UFC 129 on April 30.
On Tuesday, a press conference for UFC 129 was held at the site of the event, the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, and before discussion of UFC 129 could commence, the issue of Silva had to be addressed.
“Everybody wants to talk about the Georges St-Pierre-Anderson Silva fight,” UFC president Dana White said. “Well, he’s got to beat Jake Shields first.”
