10 UFC fights that absolutely must happen in 2018

#10 Conor McGregor vs. Georges St-Pierre

A fight between Georges St-Pierre and Conor McGregor would draw millions

People have talked about McGregor fighting Khabib Nurmagomedov or Tony Ferguson, but let’s not beat around the bush; the biggest possible fight that the UFC could put on right now would be a super fight between McGregor and former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre. The fact that they’re separated by multiple weight classes simply doesn’t matter – this fight would guarantee over a million buys on pay-per-view, easily.

So what would it take to put it together? Well, firstly St-Pierre would have to get healthy again. He’s currently out of action with ulcerative colitis but hasn’t said he’s outright retiring, and as he blames his move to 185lbs for his issues, a drop in weight could be what he needs. Secondly, the UFC would need to strip McGregor of his 155lbs belt, but then Conor likely wouldn’t mind if the carrot offered was a monster fight with the Canadian legend GSP.

If the UFC could put this together, they’d probably be best to aim for November’s seemingly yearly show in Madison Square Garden. The previous shows in MSG were among the biggest in UFC history but a clash between McGregor and St-Pierre would top them all, even with no titles on the line. Hardcore fans might grumble but assuming the fight wasn’t holding up any division, everyone would be salivating over this one in the end. The UFC should do everything in their power to make it happen.
