Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, who also held gold at 185 pounds, is looking to add a third belt to his collection by dropping to lightweight (as promised) and fighting the winner of Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor. “The Eagle” makes his very first title defense against “Notorious” at the upcoming UFC 229 mixed martial arts (MMA) pay-per-view (PPV) event on Sat., Oct. 6, 2018 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (more on that here). “I would be interested in that fight,” St-Pierre said during his international tour (via Submission Radio). “That’s a win-win situation. It’s a legacy upgrade and it’s good money. It’s gonna be a big fight. Yeah, however, I fought at 170, I relinquished the title and I fought at 185, I relinquished the title. I don’t think the UFC will let me fight for the title at 155. They will be afraid I’ll relinquish and I’ll leave the division in ruins again.”
