UFC President Dana White appeared on ESPN’s “Sportscenter” today in anticipation of the blockbuster Georges St-Pierre-Carlos Condit fight this weekend in Montreal. Not surprisingly, talk shifted to the idea of GSP fighting Anderson Silva in a much-publicized superfight. White was his usual bold self, and was quoted:

Speaking to MMAFighting.com, UFC interim Welterweight champ Carlos Condit waxes on a variety of topics surrounding his huge UFC 154 bout with Georges St-Pierre. Condit says that ring rust shouldn’t be as much a factor as many people think, but he does wonder about the strength o GSP’s surgically repaired knee.

UFC Welterweight Mike Pierce is a man that gets little to no publicity in the stacked 170 lb. division. However, he is a fighter who never seems to go away and puts on close battles each time out to the Octagon. He is also an active fighter in a time when many are not, having fought three times in 2012. His first bout was a controversial loss to Josh Koscheck that he thought he had won, but he rebounded nicley by beating Carlos Eduardo Rocha and then knocking Aaron Simpson out cold last month.
