Everybody's asking the same question for the past few weeks, more actually: Are you coming back?

GSP: I want to. My agent is negotiating with the UFC, they had an offer, we made a counteroffer, you know that's how business goes. And then we heard a day after that UFC sold for $4 billion dollars. So we waited for a few days, to see what was going on, because even some of the employees were afraid of losing their job - even some of the high ranking people in the UFC were afraid. We wanted to let the management to take care of their own company first, and then see what happens.

Now we're talking again and I'm starting the USADA process to be tested, I'm starting it Aug 10. in Las Vegas. Because to be eligible to fight you need to be tested.

Unless you're Brock Lesnar.

GSP: Yeah exactly, but he had a free pass, I think it was an exemption of a month or something like that. But me, I don't want to be an exception, because I was very outspoken about Performance Enhancing Drugs. It would be bad for my reputation if I would have an exemption - I don't want to have a free pass, I want to be like everybody else. That's why I'll be starting the process Aug 10. I don't have any fight yet, but it's gonna happen now, because I'm getting tested, if I'm getting tested it's for a reason.

T-Wood is talking up a title fight with GSP. He sees the dollar signs on that one. T-Wood is 34 and probably only has three-four years of fighting left.

GSP has said he's open to a rematch with Nick Diaz. Diaz is campaigning for the fight. Does Nick still have the clout to demand a marquee fight? He hasn't won since 2011.

Bisping has expressed interest but he's got his hands full in Manchester.

I'm not thrilled that GSP is coming back TBQH.

Diaz/GSP II or GSP/Woodley will be on the New Years card, my guess.

Diaz still has clout, IMO...losses or not, he's still a huge fan favorite and his losses have been elite level and close.

FRB says the UFC wants Sonnen vs. Diaz at 185.

Boy howdy.
