    Normally a welterweight fighter calling out a lightweight would be weak sauce but a) GSP is going to be 38-years old and barely fights anymore, b) they are the same height and both walk around at 190-lbs., and c) Khabib is arguably the #1 fighter in the world.

    GSP eyeing that triple-champ status.

    Agreed with your whole post. Did not like Mousasi calling out Rory, or TJ calling out DJ, but this feels different and I want to see it.

    I feel like London or Berlin would be the most fitting place to have this fight if they could get it signed.

    Khabib is down.

    “He has one or two fights left… Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter ever to step in the octagon. That’s my opinion.

    “I think he can drop to my weight [155lbs]. It would be interesting to fight him.

    “My return will be planned for around November, in New York [in Madison Square Garden]. He’s fought there before, and there’s a big [Russian] diaspora."
