A super fight is characterized as a fight between two of the best fighters in the world at that moment. Over the years MMA has seen Superfights between Dan Henderson and Wanderlei Silva, Bj Penn and Georges St-Pierre and Dan Henderson and Anderson Silva to name three. We all salivate every time a Superfight is brought up and why wouldn't we? Two of the best fighters battling it out to see whose better. That's just good television.
Looking at the current state of the UFC, middleweight and welterweight champs Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre have both defeated all of their recent competition with relative ease, leaving many fans to ponder how they can do something interesting from here.
Next on the list of St. Pierre's opponents will be the winner of Martin Kampman and Mike Swick at the UFC 103 event. After seeing the way St. Pierre destroyed a tougher opponent in Thiago Alves, it's hard to believe that either Kampman or Swick will have a shot at beating St. Pierre, leaving many wondering where he'll go from there.
And how about Anderson Silva? What's next on his list? With an easy win against Forrest Griffin, thought by many to be his toughest competitor, it doesn't seem like Silva has much to prove at this point either. No one else in the weight class seems to compete at the level of Griffin.
Next on Silva's list is Dan Henderson, who earned a shot for the title against Silva after defeating Britain's best, Michael Bisbing. Still, no one sees this as a fight to take too seriously and fans and experts alike predict an easy win for Silva. What's left for Silva to prove now?
Despite the fact that Silva can roll with the best in his class, he still isn't willing to move up to the light heavyweight division and accept a fight with its champ, Lyoto Machida. Silva and Machida are great friends and he'd prefer not to fight such a close friend.
So then what do we have here? We have two dominant champions in Georges "Rush" St-Pierre and Anderson "The Spider" Silva. Both men have upcoming bouts that make sense to their respective divisions. These two are expected to defeat the upcoming opponents and have the ability to do so in a one sided manner. After these fights have come and gone wouldn't it be incredible to see them starring across the octagon at each other.
As for who would come out on top, well, that's the beauty of a fight like this. No one really knows. It's been a while since we've seen a super fight, and I think the UFC is due.
