By Chris Taylor - March 31, 2016

According to a report from MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani, the UFC is trying to set up a welterweight title fight between current champ Robbie Lawler and former title holder Georges St. Pierre for July’s blockbuster UFC 200 pay-per-view event.

Here is what Helwani had to say on twitter:

Helwani also reported that the UFC is still searching for a co-main event for UFC 200 and that the Frankie Edgar vs. Jose Aldo interim featherweight title fight was never planned to be the event’s co-main feature. His words:

A welterweight title fight between Robbie Lawler and Georges St. Pierre would definitely make for one hell of a co-main event in regards to UFC 200.
