It's no rarity for commentators and fans to perform out of superlatives when wanting to describe original UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre. Since joining the UFC in 2004, St-Pierre has employed brute strength, cat-like speed and a superior intellect, among a number of other qualities,Ato enforce his will on the world's best 170-pounders. AfterAtemporarily losing his belt to Matt Serra at UFC 69,A"GSP" regained theAinterim name two fights later and then vindicated his setback to Serra at UFC 83. But seven right subject defenses later, and with St-Pierre standing alone atop the welterweight division,Ait appears a superfight between pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva and GSP will never arrived at fruition. Because Silva's 38 years of age andAprobably more likely to entertain a struggle with Jon Jones, and St-Pierre's undoubtedly on theAhomestretch of a career, GSP's realistically in a much better positionAto drop a weight class and take on light champ Benson Henderson. St-Pierre reaffirmed the theory that a fight with Silva may very well perhaps not occur because of weight issues on a bout of The Joe Rogan Experience in April: IAdon't do much cutting. It'd be easier for me to go fight at 155 than fighting at 185. I would be much more at my weight naturally at 155.There is guys at 155 that stroll around at 190 like me. They think I am big because I've a large frame, but I am not a big guy. I am maybe not heavy. St-Pierre also essentially saidAthat because of Silva's significant size advantage, the fight would have to take place at a catch weight between 170 and 185. Anderson Silva is very big. He's 230 pounds. He is a very large guy walking on, and I am 190 pounds. It's a lot of weight huge difference. We're likely to need to determine what weight type and everything, if this battle occurs one day. For now though, Silva can only plan for budding possibility Chris Weidman, who "The Spider" can lock horns with at UFC 162 come early july. St-Pierre, on the contrary, will likely face heavy-hitting wrestler Johny Hendricks in his next round, although GSP has gotten no official word nonetheless from the UFC's metal on the bout's specifics. Given, UFC president Dana White straight away squashed the idea of Henderson booming up to 170 to block of with St-Pierre, but White never nixed the idea of GSP descending to 155. So hypothetically, if St-Pierre could possibly get past Hendricks, then White will have no choice but allowing GSP to just take whatever superfight he mostAdesires before hisAbrilliant career is ended by him.
