Immediately after Silva defeated Chael for the 2nd time. The 1st time you made this accussation about GSP not wanting to fight Silva I replied with a video showcasing otherwise.
Ask yourself this question if this was a sure bet that GSP didn't want this fight do you actually think Dana and Joe Silva would already be looking at having this fight in the Cowboy stadium?
Dana might be crazy but he ain't stupid. This isn't a situation like Jones/Silva, Hendo/Sonnen where both parties have been verbal about not wanting to fighting eachother. Both GSP/Silva want to challenge eachother. GSP is not being bullied into fighting Silva nor is Silva stalking GSP like Vader chasing Skywalker.

Your facts are either wrong or outdated. When have you ever known GSP to look past any of his current opponents? When I look at the video above and look at the actions of Joe Silva and Dana White I'm inclined to believe they both want this fight.
The UFC wouldn't set themselves up for epic failure based on a false impulse. Logistically it doesn't make sense...
I am pretty sure tomorrow night if GSP wins and Rogan hops in the ring for the post fight interview (and you know he will) I am pretty sure GSP will agree to fight Silva.
Notice I said "agree" and not "call out".

- Shogun said no to Glover
- Weidman said no to Belcher
- Hendo and Sonnen aren't fighting eachother
- Silva and Jones both said no
- Jones said no to Chael (initially)
- Kongo just recently said no to Roy Nelson.
That doesn't bother you that GSP hasn't come out and expressed similiar disinterest?
