Two weeks from now, UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre will look to defend his title for the sixth time, squaring off against Jake Shields at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The fight will headline the stacked UFC 129, which will also feature names such as Randy Couture, Lyoto Machida, Jose Aldo and Ben Henderson on the main card.
Many fans see St. Pierre’s fight against Jake Shields as only a hurdle before “the real thing” — an encounter with UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva, which has been labeled a “Superfight”, and potentially the biggest bout in Mixed Martial Arts history. Yes, there’s no doubt about how huge a fight between St. Pierre and Silva would be, but it definitely wouldn’t be the first “Superfight” in the French-Canadian’s career…


I can’t get over the Forrest Griffin statement.. almost makes me think someone’s trolling. Seriously, not one valid comparison can be made from that fight. Forrest isn’t even that good, he looked like he was moving in slow motion in the Franklin fight I was watching that thinking “no wonder silva mopped these two up”. GSP brings everything to the table that Forrest doesn’t, AND I believe he’s a better striker on top of that.
