Robbie Lawler: 'I'm not the guy' GSP wants to return against

While Robbie Lawler is preparing for his third welterweight title defense against Tyron Woodley at UFC 201 this Saturday, many fans are intrigued by the possibility of a bout with former champ Georges St-Pierre.

GSP, who announced his retirement after defending his belt for the 9th time against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167, has recently flirted with a potential comeback. The question is, who would the Canadian fight upon his return?

Lawler, who spoke to MMA Junkie in a recent interview, says it most likely won't be against him. But, if St-Pierre did return to reclaim the title, 'Ruthless' says it wouldn't be a wise idea.

"I don't really get too excited (about a St-Pierre bout)," Lawler said. "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."

Lawler has been on a tear since his return to the UFC in 2013. The 15-year MMA veteran is 8-1 in his last nine bouts and has etched his name into the pound-for-pound rankings. Lawler is coming off a hard-fought win over Carlos Condit at UFC 195, which saw both men stand toe-to-toe for five rounds in a potential Fight of the Year candidate.

The 34-year-old will look to further his legacy by beating Tyron Woodley at UFC 201. The pay-per-view takes place this Saturday, July 30, at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
