What goes around, comes around.

Khabib Nurmagomedov is on top of the world right now and is already eyeing a fight against a big name.
As seen in the main event of the UFC 223 pay-per-view event on Saturday night (April 8th, 2018) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Nurmagomedov put on a dominant performance against Al Iaquinta and won the fight by decision to become the new lightweight champion.
After the fight, Nurmagomedov told media reporters who attended the latest PPV event that he wants a fight with former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.
St-Pierre returned to competition in November after four years away from the sport to win the middleweight title with a submission victory in the third round over Michael Bisping at UFC 217.
Now, he is on the sidelines as he deals with colitis. There was speculation that GSP was once again targeting a bout with Conor McGregor.
However, UFC President Dana White has shot down the potential fight in the past, and that fight appears not to be in the cards due to McGregor’s latest antics.
St-Pierre is one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history. Also, he’s only the fourth fighter in UFC history to win belts in two weight classes.
It’s been reported by Dave Meltzer that GSP’s fight with Bisping at UFC 217 brought in an estimated 875,000 pay-per-view buys.
Thus, in an era where the UFC needs stars more than ever when St-Pierre is able to return, the promotion will gladly book him in a top fight.
Once Nurmagomedov called out GSP for a fight, it didn’t take long for the former champion to respond to the call out.
“I feel UFC and Khabib got unfinished business before I try to make a step in here to go for the 155 title,” St-Pierre told MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani early Sunday morning.

As part of the build-up to the UFC 223 pay-per-view event, the talk about who the real lightweight champion would be was heavily discussed.
The promotion would not really say if this fight would be for the actual lightweight title or for the interim title that Tony Ferguson held. We had an actual champion, but he had not defended it in over 500 days, and that was Conor McGregor.
McGregor has not been seen in the Octagon since at UFC 205 when he won the lightweight title from Eddie Alvarez. McGregor then fought in a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
This wouldn’t be the first time that the promotion has stripped their biggest PPV draw of a title.
If you recall, he was stripped of the featherweight title shortly after beating Eddie Alvarez to become a two-division champ at UFC 205.
The reason to strip McGregor was to make the lightweight showdown between interim champion Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov legitimate for the strap.
Then we had all of the drama with the main event of UFC 223 that saw Ferguson pull out then UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway.
The promotion offered the fight to former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and Paul Felder to fight Nurmagomedov on short notice, but that was able to be finalized. Then Al Iaquinta was offered the fight, and he took it.
As seen in the main event of the UFC 223 pay-per-view event on Saturday night (April 8th, 2018) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, Nurmagomedov put on a dominant performance against Iaquinta and won the fight by decision to become the new lightweight champion.
With all the highlights of that sage, UFC President Dana White finally put to rest the lightweight title situation by clarifying and summing it up.
“That’s it,” White told reporters backstage at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y (transcript courtesy of MMA Junkie). “That’s the only belt.”
