http://mmajunkie.com/news/20467/ufc...erre-vs-silva-but-roadblocks-still-remain.mma Until now, White has contended that he's simply not interested in the contest due to the massive size difference between the 6-foot-2 Silva and the 5-foot-10 St-Pierre. But as fans continue to press for the matchup between the world's top two pound-for-pound fighters, the UFC head said he's beginning to realize it's his responsibility to put on the fights the world wants to see. atsch Huge size difference? Is this guy having a ****ing laugh? Why not tell the truth and just say your pulling a "Bob Arum". The fact that there both capable of making middleweight i guess is immaterial. But the whopping 4 inches is? Both Sherk and Serra are 4 inches shorter than Silva.. For some reason that didnt matter.
Dana does not think that it is a fight the fans really want to see. He doesn't feel the full demand is there yet. I sort of see what he is saying. Silva is continously talked about vs all the 205ers but with GSP we talk about him fighting Silva because there isn't anyone left at 170.
Cobblers. Fans have been calling for this bout for ages. Its easy to make as one is at welter and one is at middleweight. He just doesnt want them to face each other incase they loose their drawing power. Its the equivalent of when Arum didnt want Pac to face Cotto.
