#2 Georges St-Pierre vs. Anderson Silva
‘Superfights’ crosswise over weight classes are all of a sudden extremely popular in the UFC, with this current end of the week’s Henry Cejudo versus TJ Dillashaw conflict being the third boss versus champion gathering since June 2018. The one ‘Superfight’ that everybody truly needed however is one it would appear that we will never observe – Georges St-Pierre versus Anderson Silva.
The discussion of a potential GSP/Silva battle started generally in 2009, as the two men were on extraordinary keeps running in the Welterweight and Middleweight divisions separately.

In spite of the fact that their divisions were still brimming with fascinating contenders, it was hard not to envision a battle between these two apparently invulnerable bosses – would GSP’s wrestling and boxing have the capacity to defeat Silva’s virtuoso striking match?
Tragically, it simply did not appear either man was excessively intrigued by the battle – likely in light of the fact that they were both procuring enormous cash by being guarding champions.

GSP expressed that he would not like to climb to 185lbs, feeling the move would be inconvenient to his body (which would end up being genuine when he moved to 185lbs in 2017 and saw his well-being endure therefore) while Silva basically couldn’t move down to 170lbs. A catchweight was never really mooted.
With cross-divisional battles now increasingly prominent, the possibility of the battle has been spoken about again as of late yet was quickly shot somewhere around GSP – who asserts he is never again intrigued because of Silva’s different medication test disappointments.

At last, it remains a pity that we never observed this one, however maybe the vocations of the two victors were better over the long haul in light of the fact that the battle never occurred.
