Anderson Silva vs Georges St-Pierre

Anderson Silva is going to compete in a boxing match against fellow UFC legend Tito Ortiz at the co-main event of Triller Fight Club’s pay-per-view. Silva had a rough ending to his MMA career, but his boxing debut was nothing but amazing. Silva displayed incredible striking and he is open to take on another UFC legend in a boxing match.

One such name that has his interest is GSP, Silva claimed he would love to compete in a boxing match against him, and he requested Dana White to release him from his contract.

Talking to MMA Fighting, Silva said, “It’s a possibility. St-Pierre is a guy that deserves all respect. Not only him, but all fighters. Vitor, Tito, 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.”

Silva is not surprised by White’s dirty contract he just hopes that he would let GSP go, “Nothing coming from Dana surprises me, brother,” Silva said. “I would like too free him. He’s in shape to continue fighting, there’s no reason why you would keep him stuck just for ego. It’s ridiculous. That’s my opinion, it’s ridiculous. Let the guy go.” (h/t MMA Fighting)

Silva believes GSP is in great shape, and he would love to get back in the ring. Dana is just holding him down to satisfy his ego, and that is not right. Silva said, “He doesn’t want to fight MMA anymore and there’s a possibility he fights two, three, four, five more years in boxing, doing the new normal.”

He added, “He won’t fight a young guy, he’ll fight a De La Hoya, he’ll fight someone that gives him conditions to perform well. But you’ll hold him to a contract after everything he’s done for your company? Doing something like that is ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. You don’t need that.” (h/t MMA Fighting)
