UFC 154: St-Pierre vs. Condit, Hendricks vs. Kampmann
An unofficial welterweight tournament could be coming to Montreal later this year.
UFC president Dana White said following Friday's UFC on FX 3 post-fight press conference that the organization was hoping to book Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 154, with Martin Kampmann vs. Johny Hendricks serving as the co-main event to determine the division's No. 1 contender. The winners would then face off sometime in 2013.
UFC 154 is scheduled for Nov. 17 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.
White added that the 170-pound fights have yet to be signed but those were the two main bouts the promotion was hoping to bring north of the border.
St-Pierre hasn't fought since April 2011 due to a torn ACL, however, according to the UFC president, St-Pierre's rehab following knee surgery is on target.
UFC 154 marks the organization's first event in Montreal since UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck 2 in Dec. 2010.
Anderson Silva Favors GSP Fight Even If GSP Loses To Condit
Regardless of who wins, even if St. Pierre loses, a fight with me can happen. A fight like this is above anything else. St. Pierre is one of the greatest of the UFC. Right now, a fight with Condit is meaningless.”
UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, seems to have his eyes set and locked on a potential match up with the welterweight champ, GSP. So much so that when asked if the UFC 154 bout between GSP and Carlos Condit would have an impact on his decision, the champ said no.
