After listening to Freddie Roach and Firas Zahabi and understanding where GSPs mind is at, I don't see the timing of his return lining up with Conor or Bisping's timeline. GSP is expected to make a return in the 4th quarter of 2017, so that means October, November, or December. Theres no way the UFC is gonna hold up the middleweight belt for 7 more months, so Bisping will be forced to fight Romero. Roach is pretty much convinced by Floyd that the Mayweather/McGregor boxing match will go down, so this will eliminate Conor from fighting GSP in 2017 as well. I also believe that the UFC won't want to hold the welterweight belt up for 7 months after the Woodley/Thompson rematch.
So, with all these wheels in motion, in order for GSP to fight McGregor, Bisping, Woodley, or Thompson, something has to give. Floyd/McGregor falls through or the UFC offers some insane dollar amount for GSP/McGregor. GSP returns as early as July to either face Bisping or the WW Champ. Which option do the sherdoggers prefer?
GSP/Bisping for 185 Title?
GSP/Woodley for 170 Title?
GSP/Thompson for 170 Title?
GSP/McGregor (either catchweight or 155 Title)?
Personally, the perfect picture that would satisfy me would be
Bisping/Romero for 185 Title
GSP/Thompson for 170 Title
McGregor/Mayweather Boxing Match
