Don’t Be Surprised if Georges St-Pierre Calls Out Conor McGregor

Attachment 74680If George St Pier defeats Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight belt in November, don’t be surprised if he calls out Connor M,cGregor .

If St-Pierre wins, his training partner, Olivier Aubin-Mercier, told TSN recently that he felt it was possible that his teammate might call out McGregor for the superfight of all MMA superfights.

“I think what would be possible is if he called out Conor [McGregor] after,” Aubin-Mercier said, calling it a win-win situation for the UFC to make the fight.


If Georges wins, he’s the biggest MMA fighter of all-time. If Conor wins, he is too, and if [Georges] wins, I don’t think people are going to hold it against Conor.”
Although St-Pierre is moving up from his historical place as the king of the welterweight division to fight Bisping at 185 pounds, it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to drop back down and meet McGregor in the middle.

St-Pierre can obviously make 170 pounds. He did it for years. And McGregor fought Nate Diaz twice at 170 pounds. Currently the UFC 155-pound champion, McGregor has also shown that he doesn’t care what people think about whether or not he stays in a division and defends the title. He will go where the biggest fight is, the biggest challenge, the biggest money.
He is coming off of a foray into boxing against one of the top boxers of all time in Floyd Mayweather. McGregor made more money for that one bout that he probably has in his entire mixed martial arts career combined.
A superfight with St-Pierre is certainly in his wheelhouse, even if it means a return to 170 pounds.
It’s a good move for St-Pierre as well. He’s long been one of the most popular fighters in the world. His return to the Octagon after four years gone will likely be the biggest UFC event of 2017. Like McGregor, he is only returning for big fights and big challenges. Enter Conor McGregor into the picture.
St-Pierre has said that he has a plan in mind for his return, hinting that he’s not content to simply jump up a weight class and dominate it. He appeared to be leaning toward marquee match-ups, not conquering divisions.


“I think Conor is a smart fight for anybody in any division right now,” Aubin-Mercier added, obviously referencing the money that accompanies fighting the biggest star on the UFC roster.
St-Pierre is not a big trash talker, but he’s certainly gotten his jabs in against Bisping, primarily because Bisping is an instigator. McGregor is also an instigator, so beyond the fight being between two great fighters, McGregor, as he always does, would make promoting the fight an epic event in and of itself.
Is it a smart move?

If I was connor I would make Faggo George St Pier come down to 155. Its BS if connor fights St peir at 170 becxauseafter the way in Georgfe will be close to 180 if not more and connor stuck at 168 tops. Thats a fight Imo shouldnt happen

although super fights are exciting in theory I disagree with weight mismatched fights. When one guy struggles to come in heavy and the other does a mild cut it's not a fair strength match. There is a huge difference in power from weight category to the next. I think fight fans miss the good old days when UFC was only based on super fights. I personally would like to see prise style winner take all tournaments.
I used to enjoy watching st Pierre but he stopped fighting to stoppage and went for win on cards. If he comes back in beast mode Connor doesn't have a chance, st Pierre has to good of take downs and ground and pound which is a weak spot for connor

if GSP gets past bisping
