White: Silva-St. Pierre stadium 'superfight' likely

• Dana White said Wednesday Anderson Silva and Georges St Pierre could meet in an in-cage faceoff.
• White said the match was likely if St. Pierre beats Carlos Conduit at UFC 154.
• Cowboys Stadium in Dallas and Rogers Centre in Toronto are among the sites in play for the fight.

UFC President Dana White said Wednesday that an in-cage face-off between Georges St. Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC) and Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) is likely if St. Pierre beats Carlos Condit (28-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) at UFC 154.

"There's no doubt that Anderson Silva showing up to cheer Georges St. Pierre on ... he wants him to win this fight, and he wants to fight him after," White told MMAjunkie.com.

St. Pierre, meanwhile, batted aside any concern for such a showdown.

"I don't care about Anderson Silva," he said. "He can do whatever he wants. He can go to Florida or stay in Brazil if he wants. I'm focused on Carlos Condit right now. That's all that matters to me."

Silva's plans to attend UFC 154 were revealed on Tuesday's episode of "UFC Tonight" on FUEL TV.

St. Pierre vs. Condit headlines the Nov. 17 pay-per-view event, which takes place at Bell Centre in Montreal and airs live on pay-per-view and FX. The fight is set to unify St-Pierre's title with the interim belt won by Condit at UFC 143.

As he's done several times in recent months, White pumped the brakes on St. Pierre vs. Silva and said the outcome of UFC 154's headliner will decide the fate of the superfight, which he estimated could take place in one of three venues – a stadium in Silva's native Brazil, Cowboys Stadium in Dallas or Rogers Centre in Toronto, where the UFC set its personal best attendance mark with 55,000 for UFC 129.

"We're probably pissing Condit off every time [the superfight] is asked (about)," he said.

The 28-year-old Condit, who hasn't fought since winning the interim title in a bout against Nick Diaz, said he relished playing the role of spoiler. He also admitted he'd love to see the matchup.

White said Condit wouldn't replace St. Pierre against Silva if he is victorious at UFC 154, but rather defend the unified welterweight title.

The 31-year-old St. Pierre, who attempts his seventh title defense at UFC 154, returns to the cage for the first time in 19 months following a knee injury that forced him to withdraw from UFC 143, which allowed Condit to step in and win the belt.
