It may 5 years late but as we’ve seen with Mayweather-Pacquiao, fans love nostalgia.
GSP made it clear that he was looking to return to the UFC for blockbuster fights and few fights are bigger than facing “The Spider” in Canada.
There have been rumblings of this match-up for weeks. The Wonderboy vs Woodley 170lb title fight at UFC 205 left GSP in limbo for his return fight, even though many assumed it’d be at UFC 206 in Canada.
That left only a few fighters on the table. Nick Diaz at 170 lbs would be a big fight but an easier weight cut, 185 lbs, and a chance to finally fight Anderson Silva is even better.
Anderson Silva’s son posted an excited, yet coded, Instagram post about the fight.
