LAS VEGAS — Georges St. Pierre will main event the first stadium show in UFC history when he takes on Jake Shields in April.
If he wins, he’ll likely get a second big stage immediately following it.
UFC president Dana White said that if St. Pierre defeats Shields, it will set up a long-awaited St. Pierre vs. Anderson Silva superfight for the middleweight championship, and the event is a near-lock to take place at a stadium. Among the possible hosts? Texas’ Cowboys Stadium, and Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
