Dana White earmarks Toronto and Dallas as the two stand-outs to host Anderson Silva vs. Georges St. Pierre

UFC President, Dana White has revealed there are only a maximum of three places a possible super fight between middleweight champion, Anderson Silva and welterweight champion, Georges St. Pierre could take place, with Toronto and Dallas being the two front runners.
Speaking at a Q&A session on Friday, Dana said:
“If that fight happens, there’s only a couple places we can do it. Maybe three. We could do it in Las Vegas, which would be, Vegas is the fight capitol of the world, but there’s no arenas big enough to accommodate a fight that big.
“Dallas Texas Stadium could be a place we could do that fight, and obviously Toronto would be a no-brainer homerun.”
Both men have opponents in front of the before the promotion can consider pitting them against each other. St. Pierre will take on Jake Shields later this month at UFC 129 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada while Silva will attempt to get a measure of revenge against Yushin Okami when the promotion visits Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for UFC 134.
