UFC Should Target Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre for 2016 Superbowl Card

[Toco]

i think he finally has THE excuse to not fight anderson, PED fighter and what not

but thats the best chance for it to happening

if gsp doesnt cry about PEDs, it can happen

No chance in hell

especially after GSP lost to Hendricks

1,3,5 Baby!

3/4 Judges had it that way, thats reality

Batman -vs- Godzilla would be a good fight to work towards as well.

UFC 200 brah!

Would be a dream fight but GSP hasn't really been positive on coming back

Right, GSP fight a known roider. It was hard enough for him to want to fight other fighters whom he suspected use roids or drugs, so wanting to fight a proven roider is tough.

GSP fans so scared lol

This is a fight to maximize the value of both fighters, but particularly Silva since he's nearing the end.

PEDs are not an issue since 1) Silva just got popped on them, and is now under immense scrutiny, and more importantly, 2) UFC's new stringent drug-testing measures will go into effect by then. If anything, Silva coming off of PEDs (allegedly) will hinder his performance, ala Belfort against Weidman, and will be an advantage for St-Pierre.

Not only that, the fact that Silva was busted for PEDs, and St-Pierre specifically left due to the inadequate drug-testing measures, paints a clear antagonist and protagonist in this dream fight.

This is a fight UFC should book for business reasons, and it would most certainly do excellent numbers—which is something UFC could really use after a few years of low buyrates.
