Robbie Lawler: It Wouldn’t Be Smart For GSP To Return

Reigning 170-pound kingpin “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler will look to make the third defense of his welterweight title when he meets No. 4-ranked Tyron “The Chosen One” Woodley in the main event of tomorrow night’s (July 30, 2016) UFC 201 from Atlanta, Georgia. If Lawler can indeed get by the former NCAA wrestler, he may have some lucrative fights waiting for him including a bout with all-time welterweight great and former longtime champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre.

St. Pierre defended his title a divisional record nine straight times before vacating it in 2013 and going into a semi-retirement. Since leaving the sport, questions and rumors have swirled nonstop regarding a potential return for the Canadian superstar, but it has never become a reality, although that could change in the near future. Last month, St. Pierre told MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani that he was ready to make his return to competitive fighting.

If GSP does indeed return, a fight between him and Lawler would be massive, although the “Ruthless” one doesn’t feel as if it would be a smart move for “Rush”:

“I don’t really get too excited (about a St-Pierre bout),” Lawler recently told MMAJunkie. “It’d be nice to beat him and showcase my skills against him, but I don’t think he’s coming back. It wouldn’t be a smart move for him. He’s done a lot for the sport and won a lot of fights. I’m not the guy I think he wants to come back against.”

At this point in each fighters’ career, who would you see winning this potential scrap?

Five Reasons Robbie Lawler Would Dust Georges St. Pierre

I’m sure you’re sick of hearing the endless rumors and talks regarding a potential return to action for former longtime UFC welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre, and some of you may have completely ruled out the possibility.

I’m sure you’re sick of hearing the endless rumors and talks regarding a potential return to action for former longtime UFC welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre, and some of you may have completely ruled out the possibility.

However, it could be argued that a comeback has never been more realistic, as St. Pierre recently said that he had been in talks with the UFC, although a few obstacles still need to be cleared up.

Many of you likely won’t believe it until you see it, but it’s interesting to speculate on if and when “Rush” will re-enter the Octagon, and whom he may face if he ever does.

UFC 200 appeared to be a suitable landing spot for the Canadian star, but the card has filled up relatively fast, leading the UFC’s debut at Madison Square Garden in November to be a very realistic event for St. Pierre to return at. As for whom he could fight, GSP also recently said that he’s simply interested in ‘big’ fights rather than title fights.

Nonetheless, a clash with reigning champion “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler would be massive, to say the least. While this potential title fight would make sense from a promotional standpoint, it may not be St. Pierre’s best choice.

Let’s take a look at five reasons why Lawler would dust St. Pierre if the two were to ever meet.
