Anderson Silva’s Coach has Shocking Words for Georges St. Pierre
By Sean Farrell
Georges St. Pierre still has to get a win against Jake Shields before any move up to middleweight to challenge MMA King Anderson Silva in the super fight of all super fights that EVERYONE is talking about. UFC President Dana White revealed that the biggest fight in the sports history would happen possibly in 2011 if St. Pierre got past Shields (and if Silva got past Vitor Belfort but Silva’s front kick assured that), the fight world began gawking over the possibility of the fantasy match up.
There is at least one person against the idea however, Anderson Silva’s boxing trainer Josuel Distak, who recently said that St. Pierre should stay at welterweight so that he won’t lose or get hurt. “Georges St. Pierre should stay in his division (laughs), because if he moves up he’d have much headache, St. Pierre is a strategic fighter. Besides being very dangerous, Anderson also is strategic, so he has two weapons. Anderson has an advantage over St. Pierre because of his reach and game, he has a more efficient Muay Thai and a tough ground game. Anderson will be prepared for him.”
St. Pierre and Shields square off on April 30th in the main event of UFC 129 in Toronto, Ontario. A fight that will make or break the most anticipated match up in MMA history.
If Jake Shields wins against GSP and is the spoiler, he may just become the most hated man in MMA history.
