There's a new UFC welterweight champion in town. Tyron Woodley planted Robbie Lawler with his vaunted right hand and knocked him out in the 1st round of the UFC 201 main event. After winning the title, Woodley wasted no time calling out both Nick Diaz (whose 18 month suspension is over today) and Georges St-Pierre, deeming them both to be "money fights."
While we don't know how Diaz feels about the prospects of the champion wanting to fight him, GSP is evidently interested in taking on Woodley, as reported by MMAFighting.com. GSP was asked via text if he was interested and wanted the fight with Woodley, and he replied "yes" both times.
St-Pierre (25-2) hasn't fought since a controversial split decision win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013. Earlier that night, Tyron Woodley had KO's Josh Koscheck in vicious fashion. GSP abdicated the belt and went on hiatus, with uncertainty that he'd ever return to the sport.
As it stands right now, St-Pierre said in June that he was ready to the return to MMA, and even claimed he could fight anywhere from 155 to 185, including a potential fight with middleweight champion Michael Bisping. Otherwise, GSP isn't officially back in the UFC, and Dana White is adamant that he'll never fight again.
Meanwhile, Stephen Thompson sits and waits with this look on his face, wonderboying if he'll be left having to wait on the sidelines instead of being Woodley's next opponent.
