While Michael Bisping’s next dance partner is all set, apparently another UFC title-holder has former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre interested in making an Octagon comeback.
Ariel Helwani reported at MMAFighting.com on Monday morning that former longtime 170-pound king Georges St-Pierre is interested in fighting new 170-pound champion, Tyron Woodley.
Woodley knocked out Robbie Lawler in the first round at UFC 201 on Saturday night to become the new UFC Welterweight Champion. After the show, Woodley claimed that he has his sights set on either Nick Diaz or Georges St-Pierre as the guy he would like to defend the title against first.
St-Pierre apparently feels the same.
Helwani texted GSP to ask him if he’s interested in fighting “The Chosen One” in his first 170-pound title defense, to which “Rush” simply replied, “Yes.”
St-Pierre last fought inside the Octagon at UFC 167 in November of 2013, edging out Johny Hendricks via close decision victory to retain his UFC Welterweight crown and retire as champion.
