5 fights that the UFC must make in 2017

Will Conor McGregor steal the show again in 2017?

#3 Georges St. Pierre vs Tyron Woodley

George St.Pierre’s return hangs by a thread

GSP has been telling anyone who would listen, and that is a considerable number, that he wants to come back and fight in the UFC. Dana White however, has shot down the possibility of the former Welterweight king making a comeback by questioning his desire to fight again.

Clearly there is some discrepancy in the business side of things and neither GSP nor the UFC seem willing to yield, which is a pity considering how consummate an ambassador of the sport he is.

Should the two parties resolve their differences amicably, however, there is quite an strong case to be made for St.Pierre to be thrust to the front of the queue and receive a title shot against the current Welterweight incumbant, Tyron Woodley.

After all, he was utterly dominant in his reign as the Champion and was one of the premier pay-per-view draws for the company before Ronda Rousey and Conor McGregor blew up. Whether Tyron Woodley holds the belt, or drops it to Stephen Wonderboy Thompson in their rematch (if it happens), Georges St. Pierre’s return would be certainly be a shot up the arm for the Welterweight division.

And if a certain Irishman decides to drop one of his belts and be adventurous, another blockbuster superfight beckons!
