Edgar would love to see GSP fight Anderson Silva

Frankie Edgar has admitted he would like to see his training partner Georges St-Pierre fight Anderson Silva.

Edgar believes it would be time for St-Pierre to fight Anderson Silva, should he manage to beat Jake Shields on Saturday.

“There’s always going be someone new coming up to challenge you, but right now he has cleaned up the welterweight division almost twice,” Edgar told Tatame. “So, it’s going be tough for him to get some challenges, but I’m sure there’ll be kids coming up.

“As a fan, I would love to see him fighting Anderson Silva. As a team-mate and friend, it’s up to him.

“I think his best bet is getting him to the ground, and for Anderson is standing up. But I think Georges is more dynamic than most of the guys Anderson has fought, but as I said: Anderson has [been] running through everybody. So, as a fan, that’s a fight I’d love to see.”
