UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has been long-linked to an eventual super-fight with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. The two legends have completely dominated their divisions for the past handful of years and it has now gotten to the point that each division is practically out of realistic challengers for the dominant champions.
However while many fans look forward to St-Pierre making the move up from 170 to 185, there was recently information provided from his camp that he might decide to move down in weight to 155 instead.
Certainly this would be a bit anti-climatic, but given his physical stature, a move down to 155 might actually be better on St-Pierre than a move up to 185 where he’d need to add a ton of muscle-mass to even be near his opponents in size.
He has cleaned out the cabinets in the welterweight division and now he may be setting his sights on doing it in a second weight-class. The lightweight division is arguably the most competitive in the company, but St-Pierre is just way too dominant to believe that he wouldn’t completely run through 155 as well.
These five reasons, among others, support the idea that GSP could join Randy Couture and BJ Penn as the third multi-division UFC champion.
