When Anderson Silva enters the boxing ring this Saturday to face fellow UFC legend Tito Ortiz in the co-main event of Triller Fight Club’s pay-per-view in Hollywood, Fla., he’ll already have another MMA superstar in mind for a future boxing showdown.
Speaking on the debut episode of MMA Fighting’s first-ever Portuguese-language podcast Trocação Franca, “The Spider” revealed that he’s going to push for the idea of facing former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre in a future bout — a superfight that never came to fruition in MMA but could finally happen inside the squared circle.
“It’s a possibility,” Silva said. “Georges St-Pierre is a guy that deserves all respect. Not only him, but all fighters. Vitor [Belfort], Tito [Ortiz], [Oscar] De La Hoya — they are legends. And I think it would be an interesting fight, but we need the almighty to stop being annoying and let the guy move on.”
