There
were multiple options for Georges St-Pierre’s comeback fight according to UFC
President Dana White but he was never going to fight Conor McGregor. GSP will
fight UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping later this year. It will be the
first time he has fought since November 2013. White says a fight with McGregor
wasn’t going to happen because GSP isn’t in the same weight class. GSP could
fight at 155 pounds but fighting at the 185 pound level made more sense. No one
knows when McGregor is going to fight again anyway since he is on hiatus and
teasing a fight with boxer Floyd Mayweather. If that doesn’t happen then
McGregor was to have fought the winner of the UFC 209 interim lightweight title
fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tony Ferguson that never happened. |
