The cameras had hardly stopped rolling on last night’s GSP/Condit Welterweight title bout when a familiar character offered his comments on St-Pierre’s winning performance.

UFC President Dana White appeared on ESPN’s “Sportscenter” today in anticipation of the blockbuster Georges St-Pierre-Carlos Condit fight this weekend in Montreal. Not surprisingly, talk shifted to the idea of GSP fighting Anderson Silva in a much-publicized superfight. White was his usual bold self, and was quoted:

Speaking to MMAFighting.com, UFC interim Welterweight champ Carlos Condit waxes on a variety of topics surrounding his huge UFC 154 bout with Georges St-Pierre. Condit says that ring rust shouldn’t be as much a factor as many people think, but he does wonder about the strength o GSP’s surgically repaired knee.
