Firas Zahabi is Calling For GSP – Nate Diaz at UFC 200

[MaxGlayn]

If you believe Georges St-Pierre is never going to fight again, some of the comments his coach has been making, might change your mind.

GSP has never said he’s going to compete again, but he’s also never said he’s officially done either. Since the former welterweight champ resumed training earlier this year, however, speculation that the 34 year-old’s preparing for a comeback has been rampant. The fact that the Canadian star was at last weekend’s UFC 196 card, also raised eyebrows.

As you know, on Saturday, Nate Diaz rocked the MMA world by submitting Conor McGregor in round two. Since then, GSP’s longtime coach Firas Zahabi has tweeted out the following:

Now sure, Zahabi doesn’t speak for GSP, so no one should start freaking out just yet. But, based off these comments, one could certainly infer that 1) St-Pierre is indeed, getting quite close to coming back, and that 2) perhaps he’s expressed an interest in fighting Diaz directly to the Tristar coach.

Really, a lot about this would make sense. GSP has said he’s not interested in making a title run, and that he wants big fights. Well, a fight with Diaz at UFC 200 would be absolutely huge, and there’s no belt on the line. Then, there’s the whole back story with GSP and Nate’s brother Nick, so this fight would have plenty of promotional content to run with.

Let’s see what happens…

GSP never once said he's never going to compete again, but I wouldn't mind the Nate Diaz fight.

 

[The Accuser]

 

[Forever Young]

That's so uncharacteristic of Firas lmao

 

[haplo]

Why are you posting this old news?

 

[Sonny Qc]

well, easy comeback fight.
Any Coach would be happy with that.

 

[mbach4307]

Of course he did. But there are better fights against a ww that GSP could do. But I suppose a fight with Diaz brings him one step closer to the animal that is champ now

 

[Sonny Qc]

Why are you posting this old news?

because it's an old news, like TS news.

 

[TatooNU]

All the noobs who said Conor was not going to call out GSP at 196 are dumb. Nick is better a boxer then Nate, Nate appears to have better BJJ. GSP puts Nate down immediately. Not sure how this fight looks any different then GSP/Nate?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

What a weird call out.

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

wtf? might as well just fight mcgregor or Cm punk then lol.

GSP might actually be turning into fedor

 

[sonhow]

Shit makses less sense than Fedor returning to beat up cans in Japan. I mean money is there but who cares?

 

[haplo]

because it's an old news, like TS news.

Yeah i know, i was being indirectly sarcastic hah.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

dont want to see it. GSP will wrestle him to death and win a unanimous decision

 

[TatooNU]

I would think they would do GSP/NATE at Canada Football stadium. Don't need that for UFC 200.

 

[Goodfella86]

I want to see MEGA-FIGHTS at UFC 200. That is not MEGA. I know GSP is probably reluctant to fight for the belt. considering Wonderboy and Rory are right there, but the only two fights that make sense are Robbie and Anderson.

 

[irishmac22]

GSP is arguably the most popular fighter in the history of the UFC. If GSP decides to come back, it has to be against Robbie. That's the fight. I'm sorry there is a belt involved, but there is. Robbie fought everyone. Just like GSP did. Who would win? Personally I rather see George enjoy his retirement. However if he comes back I want to see him fight. Nate is not a fight for him. Hell Nick wasn't a fight for him! Robbie and him would flat out "war".

 

[2XDropkick]

Rory totally outclassed Nate. I realize he seems to have stolen CMc's momentum but give me a break...as a huge gsp fan what a waste this fight would be.

Does nothing for his legacy...nothing for this aura...and there are bigger $$$ fights.

This makes me sad - GSP went out on top as champ, he clearly lost a little after his knee surgery and was not quite as dominant in my opinion. Hope GSP stays retired and healthy.
