Georges St-Pierre discusses reasons for canceled superfight with Anderson Silva

Georges St-Pierre recently spoke on a podcast about the canceled superfight against Anderson Silva that fans had anticipated. He revealed that while the UFC did approach him about the matchup, negotiations never advanced beyond initial discussions. St-Pierre outlined that he had several conditions, including compensation for moving up a weight class and drug testing. He expressed that his requests were reasonable considering the circumstances, but claimed the UFC did not follow up on them, suggesting a lack of interest in making the fight happen. The two champions ruled their divisions simultaneously from 2006 to 2013 but never faced each other.
