Here's Dana's take on the possible dream match up when asked about the likeliness of it ever happening on the Dan LeBatard Show (via Sports Radio Interviews).
"People ask me that all the time. This is what I believe. I believe my job is to put on fights that people want to see. I keep hearing that and enough people want to see it. I guess I'm gonna have to do it... But the fight doesn't really make all that much sense to me because Georges St. Pierre is a true 170 pounder. Anderson Silva at 185 has moved up to 205 and done very well at that weight. I see him moving up, not moving down."
Dana's right. A fight between Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva doesn't really make much sense at the moment. That being said, there isn't a person in their right mind who wouldn't pay to see it.
Considering that both gentlemen's schedules are tied up for the foreseeable future - GSP and Silva defending their belts in December and August respectively - and with an all but certain move to light heavyweight for the "Spider" within the next year, the opportunity to bring the fight to fruition may have passed.

Its possible
If both Silva and GSP both defend their titles twice in a row then for the new year before you move Silva up to LHW have him fight at catch weight with GSP.
