Anderson Silva is prepared to fight Georges St-Pierre at a catchweight, according to the Brazilian's manager Jorge Guimaraes.

Doubts have recently surfaced over a potential superfight between Silva and St-Pierre, with welterweight champion St-Pierre expressing doubts over the size difference between the two men. Silva is the current middleweight king, and he has twice stepped up to light-heavyweight for easy victories over James Irvin and Forrest Griffin.

St-Pierre insists he is not afraid of Silva, but claims he would need a serious amount of time to prepare his body for the leap to 185lbs.

However, Silva's manager Guimaraes revealed there is no need for GSP to make the full step up, revealing The Spider would happily weigh in at a catchweight of around 178lbs, knowing that he would load the weight back on during the 24 hours prior to the fight.

"Anderson has proven he's the best fighter and he handles it quite good. It's a complicated fight for GSP… it's a pretty bad fight for him", Guimaraes told Tatame.

"Anderson has this biotype, he loses weight easily, he can make any weight, so I believe a catchweight [bout] would be perfect for GSP, and Anderson wouldn't have problems with that.

"Who'd have a problem would be GSP, because Anderson can lose that weight easily and, at the day of the fight, he'd be on his usual weight, so I believe it's complicated for Georges St-Pierre."

Cant wait!

Who will win? GSP vaseline humpings or Silva matrix lawman moves?

gsp would get owned on ground because of the size difference...
if he makes it a striking game he will be playing right into the spiders web...
i dont see any way gsp wins this fight unless he is within 10lbs of silva on fight day...
any more and it will be like bigfoot vs fedor... too much for him to overcome!
that being said i really wanna see this fight and not at a catchweight...
i picked gsp to be ufc mw champ at the end of the year...
and that is exactly what i wanna see happen!

+1 I think GSP could grind him out though, but yea there isn't allot of chance he would submit the heavier blackbelt,
but I also need GSP to win the MW belt so yea 185 get it on for atleast the two of us.

should be 176 lbs with a grace pound so that it would really be 177lbs.

It would be an amazing fight.

Silva might be too good for GSP though.

Anyone know how much GSP walks around at? What weight?

Have the weigh-in on the fught day - problem solved

And I would hate it if Anderson won, GO GSP!

GSP by unanimous decision like always.
