Nah, GSP is already rich, too old and McGreggor is too much of a junkie fuckup these days for that fight to ever happen.

“Biggest name of all time” GSP is someone who cares about notches under his belt (look at how he came back to snipe Bisping)

I think if Mcgregor was on-board for the fight, Mcgregor may be the only person GSP would come out of retirement for.

Do it for 185lbs.

This is a bit of a sidenote but damn these headlines often end up feeling so misleading - this makes it sound like GSP on his own initiative has started to actively campaign for Conor's return.

When in fact it seems he just answered an interview question

"I hope so. When Conor fights, it's good for the sport, good for everyone,"
St. Pierre told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest in New York this past weekend.
"He brought more eyeballs than anyone else in the sport. In terms of promotion, he's the biggest name in mixed martial arts of all time. And I just hope he comes back — if he wants to. If it makes him happy, and it's really what he wants to do, he should do it."


Not even saying the media is doing anything wrong.
Just an observation that a casual interview answer may seem like it's an active campaign when it's made into a headline.

(Like if an interviewer asks "Could you beat a gorilla?" and the fighter thinks it's a strange question but entertains it by saying "Hm..I think so - why not"
The headline Fighter thinks they will beat gorilla 1 on 1" - that makes us readers imagine they are going around campaigning that statement on their own accord

People here think these quotes are said in a vacuum, nothing new. As for Connie, let's see if he can make it through a training camp without falling apart first.

THIS

GSP v Conor is a mega fight

 

[Stun Gun]

IDK if conor still has it

 

[Mitchell Cummingham]

Conor is too big to fight again and the UFC is dead anyways

 

[Khaosan]

GSP vs McGregor at WW/MW, Dana’s wet dream.

 

[Conor Strickland]

He already returned to fighting when he was in a nightclub recently

 

[NoSmilez]

Connor aged out. I don't think he is going to fight someone who is competitive with the top 10 guys. He also has generational wealth. There is no real reason to fight. He can do the Van Damn I am doing this for the kids schtick when he turns 40.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Good guy GSP sees a man that's dead inside and gives him some friendly advice

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

He too busy being a degenerate - you know raping and assaulting people while boozed and drugged out of his mind.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

GSP killing McGregor dead in the middle of the Octagon in about half a round would be good for the whole world. It would be good for Ireland, good for Canada, good for the species

 

[m249viking]

No no no. 10 years ago? yes yes yes

Yeah only fights would be the Diaz trilogy or GSP.

 

[Adamant]

GSP should come out of retirement to fight him at 170. GSP vs McGregor would be HUGE.

 

[rightfight777]

Connor is too busy partying and destroying his legacy. He can't compete with elite fighters anymore he'd need a can or retired fighter to have a chance.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Hey GSP, if Conor comes back to fight, you would not be emprresss bi hiz purformunce.
