Anderson Silva
Throw in a good mix of UFC middleweights, the prospects of a light heavyweight bout with UFC champ Jon Jones, and a recent challenge by former Strikeforce welterweight title holder Nick Diaz, one would think that Anderson Silva’s camp would have a hard time sorting through the long list of possible matchups to name a possible opponent.
Not so says Jorge Guimaraes, one of Silva’s managers and one of the founders of the Black House gym, who says the champ is looking at UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre as the opponent that “makes sense right now” for ‘The Spider’s’ next fight.
Guimaraes talked about this matchup less than a week ago and is still towing the same line in a recent interview on “The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo” this past Monday.
“Chris Weidman was very impressive (against Mark Munoz), but he has only nine fights right now. It’s all up to the UFC but I don’t think that fight makes sense because it would be hard to promote it. I think Michael Bisping is a great opponent and I think that would be a very exciting fight. If Brian Stann beats Bisping, that would be a good fight too.
“But for sure, the fight of the decade is Anderson Silva vs. GSP. Me and Anderson have talked about it briefly and we think GSP is the only fight that makes sense right now.”
