Even if they never got to share the Octagon together, there remains to be a deep history between Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre. A fight between the two had been brought up in the late 2000s, but nothing ever came to fruition.
Fast forward to more than a decade later, where both fighters are in totally different scenarios. “The Spider” has since been through two failed drug tests and two stoppage defeats courtesy of Chris Weidman. St-Pierre, on the other hand, took a four-year hiatus, won the title over Michael Bisping in 2017, then ended up vacating it and going into an indefinite break once again.
