GSP hasn't fought in WW in years so he would obviously struggle to make LW and he's obviously past his prime so why go for GSP if you're looking for a legacy defining super fight instead what better way than challenging the current reigning and defending welterweight champion of the world who would happily accept the challenge at 170? We all know if Khabib beat GSP, people would bring up the fact that GSP is much older and fought in a lower weight class that he wasn't used to, so from a legacy fight it's not as substantial as people think, but going up to fight Tyron Woodley that would be no question the best achievement from a legacy perspective for a LW champion EVER so why doesn't he go for it? The UFC would obviously make the fight in a heart beat if Khabib showed interest.
He obviously is keen to move up in weight to make a super fight since he was offering the fight to GSP at catch-weight, he has obviously fought in WW before (in his early career) and has missed weight twice at LW (one time to the point of hospitalization) you would think he would be more keen to take the challenge, no?
Even Conor who is way smaller and more outskilled and outmatched against Tyron has showed more enthusiasm in fighting Tyron Woodley - that shows he is up to take the biggest challengers that cement legacies.
Food for thought...
