Regardless of what happens at UFC 129, Georges St-Pierre will apparently have to wait his turn.
MMAjunkie.com has confirmed that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami have each verbally agreed to meet in August at “UFC: Rio,” the UFC’s first event in Brazil since 1998.
UFC president Dana White first revealed the booking to USA Today, and MMAjunkie.com subsequently confirmed that both parties are committed to the fight, though bout agreements have not yet been distributed.
