Drake Riggs - October 29, 2018

After the biggest fight of his career at UFC 229, UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov now seems destined for continuing the trend of landing fights that are on that same level. Nurmagomedov has always had his sights set on taking on the ultimate challenges and has never shown fear when doing so. One of the challenges he has made it clear that he would like to take on is the arguably greatest fighter of all time, former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion, Georges “Rush” St-Pierre.

UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley believes his friend and teammate Ben Askren would easily defeat the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre. The current UFC welterweight champion, Woodley, has known the former ONE Championship and Bellator welterweight title holder, Askren, for a long time. The pair originally wrestled together at University of Missouri, this before once again linking up to train under legendary striking coach Duke Roufus in Milwaukee.

Has UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov suddenly become the ‘big’ or the ‘money’ fight? Because he’s getting called out more now than ever. Although not quite a ‘call out’ exactly, former two-division champion at middleweight and welterweight, Georges St-Pierre has expressed interest in a potential ‘legacy bout’ with the undefeated current 155-pound king.

At Bellator 208, Chael Sonnen was taking on arguably the best heavyweight in MMA history, Fedor Emelianenko. Ultimately, Emelianenko’s power proved to be too much for the former middleweight and natural light heavyweight. Emelianenko dropped Sonnen multiple times during the fight and got the TKO win in the first round. However, even with this loss to Emelianenko, Sonnen can take pride in having fought the best of the best throughout his career. He competed in title fights against the arguable middleweight GOAT in Anderson Silva, and the consensus light heavyweight GOAT in Jon Jones.

In a recent conversation with MMA Fighting, former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre implied that former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones should not be included in MMA’s GOAT debate on the basis of his previous failed drug tests. “Just look at the difference with some of the — I’m not saying any names, because I don’t want to attack an individual, I want to change the system — just look at the difference with some people,” he said. “Look, I remember there was a fight between two opponents, and one guy said, ‘Oh, it’s not the performance-enhancing [drugs] that threw the kick. It’s me.’ Actually, it’s not true. That’s the performance-enhancing drugs that threw the kick, because you wouldn’t have thrown the kick [like that] if you would have not taken them. You know what I mean? So to give you an example, it makes you more creative, it makes you more hungry. It changes the physique.

If you were hoping former UFC welterweight and middleweight Georges St-Pierre might one day add the UFC lightweight title to his crowded trophy case, we’ve got some bad news. Speaking to MMA Fighting this week, the Canadian MMA legend claimed that the doubts the UFC will ever let him fight for the UFC lightweight belt. After he won the UFC middleweight title with a submission of Michael Bisping in 2017, and promptly abandoned that title, he feels the promotion will be much more choosey with the opportunities they give him going forward.

One MMA’s all-time greats Georges St-Pierre was last seen making some history inside the Octagon at UFC 217 but he hasn’t been seen since.

If you thought that ‘The Spider’ was done when it came to MMA…then you better think again. The once middleweight king still has some fight left. After Anderson Silva received his one-year suspension from USADA recently, the time frame for the said suspension to end now lands in October.

Extreme weight-cutting is one of the biggest problems in MMA at present. Not only is it incredibly dangerous, but it also frequently derails fight cards, as fighters often miss their marks and can’t compete at their contracted weights.

Last week, at a press conference in Australia, former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre shared his interest in dropping down to lightweight to battle the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor‘s UFC 229 lightweight title fight (see St-Pierre’s prediction for the fight here). “I would be interested in that fight,” St-Pierre said. “That’s a win-win situation. It’s a legacy upgrade and it’s good money — it’s gonna be a big fight. Yeah. However, I fought at 170, I relinquished a title. I fought at 185, I relinquished a title. I don’t think UFC will let me fight for the title at 155. They will be afraid I relinquish and I left the division in ruins.

MMA fans have wanted to see Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva fight for years. Even now, when St-Pierre has long since abandoned the UFC welterweight title he once guarded so fiercely, and Anderson Silva’s reign as UFC middleweight champion is a distant memory, a collision between the two greats remains one of the most mouth-watering options on the MMA menu. Speaking at a press conference during his visit to Australia, the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre discussed this long-desired super fight. While the fans’ appetite for this fight has not dissipated, St-Pierre says it’s one that doesn’t make sense for him at present.

I don’t think the UFC will let me fight for the title at 155. They will be afraid I’ll relinquish and I’ll leave the division in ruins again.”
