Earlier this month, former Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight and middleweight titleholder Georges St. Pierre made headlines by expressing interest in fighting the winner of UFC 229’s main event between newly minted lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and former titleholder and superstar Conor McGregor. Speaking to Submission Radio during his speaking tour in Australia, “Rush” branded a mega-fight for the 155-pound title as a “win-win situation” in terms of his legacy and bank balance, and indicated he could be ready as early as UFC 230 in November or, more plausibly, UFC 231 in December to make his return.
