Lorenzo Fertitta föredrar att hålla koll på allt bakom UFC. Han är grundaren av moderbolaget Zuffa och så att säga UFCs VD Dana Whites chef. Så när han säger saker, så gäller det att lyssna. Och nu pratar han något som är väldigt, väldigt intressant – Den potentiella supermatchen mellan Anderson Silva och Georges St-Pierre.
”I want to see that fight,” säger Fertitta. ”That’s probably the one fight I really want to see the most.
GSP has to get past Koscheck; Anderson Silva has to get past Vitor Belfort. If that happens, there’s a really good likelihood that we could see that fight – probably some time next summer. … If these guys keep winning their fights, I think it will definitely happen.
One of the things we wanted to do was allow both of these guys to continue to get through their divisions – meaning there were a lot of contenders that deserved title shots. Because they’re in different weightclasses, we wanted to let that all play out before we put those two guys together. But I mean we’re getting to a point where they’ve pretty much cleaned out the division. Maybe it’s time to watch them and see what happens.”
Så hur låter det här? UFC 135: Silva vs St-Pierre.
