Dana White won t rule out Conor McGregor vs. Georges St-Pierre: It s intriguing

Get the Full StoryWhile it may be unlikely, Dana White is open to the possibility of a superfight between Conor McGregor and GSP. As the UFC s current flagship star, Conor McGregor can make just about any fight a pay-per-view hit. The same was true of former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who ruled as PPV king during his championship run from 2008-2013.

It s only natural, then, for fans to speculate of a superfight between two of the sport s biggest stars now that Rush has come out of retirement.

St-Pierre is currently occupied with Michael Bisping, who he will challenge for the middleweight title in a headlining championship bout at UFC 217. McGregor, on the other hand, is expected to return to the Octagon to defend his lightweight belt against Tony Ferguson in late-December or early 2018.

UFC president Dana White is open to the possibility of a McGregor vs GSP superfight next year if both men settle their business in their upcoming bouts.

GSP would need to defend his title first at 185 pounds and Conor has some business to handle himself, White told TSN in a recent interview, per MMA Weekly s Damon Martin. It would be a year and a half down the road before we would even talk about that.

Everybody s intriguing for Conor McGregor. I mean, if you look at Conor McGregor at 145, 155 and 170 pounds , everything is intriguing.

St-Pierre said he doesn t challenge fighters in lower weight classes but didn t rule out of the possibility of a fight with The Notorious .

He s an amazing fighter, it would be an amazing honor, but I don t know. I don t know what to say. If the fans want it and he wants it maybe it will happen but right now, I m focused on Bisping, GSP said earlier this month.

St-Pierre will look to become a two-division champion by challenging Bisping for the 185-pound title at UFC 217. The blockbuster PPV takes place next month, Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
