LOS ANGELES -- On Wednesday, Anderson Silva's manager, Ed Soares, caused a stir by saying the UFC middleweight champion was open to fighting controversial welterweight Nick Diaz.
One day later, UFC president Dana White shot down the hypothetical fight, and said if any welterweight was going to fight Silva, it would be champion Georges St-Pierre.
Speaking to reporters at the UFC on FOX 4 press conference at the JW Marriott hotel, White all but mocked the notion of a Silva-Diaz fight.
