Dana White Says St-Pierre-Silva Could Happen Sooner Than Later

An interesting tidbit that came out of Dana White's Q&A session at the UFC Fan Expo in Boston last weekend was the UFC president's revelation that a superfight between his middleweight champion, Anderson Silva and welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre may come to fruition in the next year if both men win their next two fights.

When asked by a young fan why he hasn't made the fight between the two dominant champions yet, White replied:

"Well, Georges St-Pierre is the coach on this season of The Ultimate Fighter and he's gotta fight Koscheck. Then Jake Shields is here now, so he's got a couple guys [to get through] before he clears out the division. We're gonna redo Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva. That rematch is gonna happen and Vitor Belfort is still in the mix. So they got a couple guys they gotta beat before we make that fight, but I'm not opposed to making it."

Sounds like they've already counted Okami out of his upcoming bout with Belfort. Poor Yushin; always be the bridesmaid, never the bride.
