Dana White admitted he would struggle to find a suitable venue if a super-fight between Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre should ever materialise.

Local hero Silva further stamped his authority on the middleweight division with dominant win over Yushin Okami in front of his home fans in Rio de Janeiro, and 'The Spider' was delighted to claim victory in his native Brazil.

"I got my start fighting here in Brazil but hadn't fought here in a long time," he said. "Thank God, I got to do it again while in the midst of great fighters, having people like Pedro Rizzo and the people of Brazil on my side."

Silva's latest win over Okami, the last man to beat him back in 2006, will once again bring calls for the middleweight champion to take on welterweight king St Pierre.

Such is Silva's dominance in the UFC, beaten Forrest Griffin joked Silva would have to take on two opponents in his next fight. But while UFC president White insisted there were plenty of contenders for Silva's crown, he admitted it was "about time" for a much-anticipated showdown with St-Pierre.

"For sure Anderson is the best pound for pound fighter on the planet," White said. "His division has lots of good fighters but he's fantastic and makes the others look easy.

"There are still a lot of fights for Anderson to do in his division and Georges Saint-Pierre too. But it's about time for it to happen. I don't know if we have a stadium that could handle a fight like that."

White also hailed the fans at UFC 134 and revealed he was already looking at holding another event in Brazil.

"I'd do another UFC in Brazil next weekend," he said "The event was a success even before it happened; tickets sold out and these fighters delivered the goods. I've been doing events around the world for ten years and Brazil's crowd wins. The first fight already seemed like a title fight."

"We're looking at a number of cities in Brazil as possibilities and we could hold one anywhere. We want more events, in Rio too."
