Ahead of the fight, there has been much speculation regarding former welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre returning to the Octagon to fight Michael Bisping for the middleweight title.

In addition, St-Pierre reportedly expressed interest in making the cut down to lightweight, something dos Anjos would love to see happen.

He spoke on The MMA Hour to theorize over a potential fight with GSP:

“I’m a big fan of Georges St-Pierre. For me, it would be great to fight against my idol. It’s a new challenger, and it’s a big money fight. If he can make it, I’m here. I’ll have the belt.”

St-Pierre hasn’t fought since his UFC 2013 split decision win over Johny Hendricks. After the fight, St-Pierre began his indefinite leave of absence from the UFC.

Will we ever see Georges St-Pierre back in the Octagon, let alone at lightweight?
