Overview
- St-Pierre told Demetrious Johnson on Tuesday that UFC executives Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta asked him once about a fight with Anderson Silva and that talks stopped after that single conversation.
- He says his first condition was a new contract with higher pay to compensate for moving up a weight class and changing his training.
- St-Pierre says his second condition was a temporary catchweight of roughly 180 pounds so he could move up then return to welterweight.
- His third condition was formal drug-testing protocols for the bout, and St-Pierre says the UFC never followed up on any of his requests.
- The episode leaves the matchup as a sustained ‘what if’ in MMA history and underscores how contract terms, weight moves and testing disputes can shape which high-profile fights get made.
