About the article:
Although Georges St-Pierre will have to defend the middleweight title against Robert Whittaker and Conor McGregor will defend the lightweight title against Tony Ferguson or Nate Diaz, there is still talk of a possible fight between them.
In fact, the Canadian fighter has already stated that he is willing to compete with the Irishman.
"We don't compete in the same weight class. Anything is possible. But I don't challenge fighters who compete in lower weight classes. I'll fight Michael Bisping. Fighting Conor McGregor would be an honor. If the fans want it, maybe, but right now I'm focused on Michael Bisping."
These days, analyst and former fighter Kenny Florian gave his opinion on who would win.
"Conor McGregor could make things interesting, but I believe Georges St-Pierre doesn't want to go down too much in weight. He did it in his time when the welterweight division wasn't very high level. And I also don't know if he thinks Conor McGregor is a challenge. Competing against a much smaller guy with Georges St-Pierre's takedown skills. I don't think McGregor is big enough or has the wrestling skills to cope with it."
He also states that he wouldn't be surprised if this was the Canadian's last fight.
"What is he going to get that will elevate his status even more? Defeat the light heavyweight champion? Fight Stipe Miocic? I don't know if there's anything better than what he's accomplished."
As for the possible fight with the Irishman, former champion Miesha Tate has a different opinion.
"Conor McGregor, I have underestimated him several times. He's really in a league of his own. When it comes to game planning, trash talking, getting into people's heads, no one does it better than Conor McGregor. I think he would win that fight. I feel bad saying this because I've been a fan of Georges St-Pierre for a long time. He's perfect when he fights. Maybe he's not the most exciting, but he's perfect. He always did what he had to do to win his fights. But Conor McGregor is brilliant. He also knows what he has to do. And Georges St-Pierre has never had to deal with someone who talks like Conor McGregor does. How he gets into the heads of the fighters. It's crazy to say that he can defeat Georges St-Pierre, but it's also crazy to say that he can't."
