Georges St-Pierre is focused on a middleweight title bout, not Conor McGregor.
On Nov. 4, St-Pierre will challenge Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title. The bout will take place inside Madison Square Garden in New York City. It’ll headline UFC 217.
If St-Pierre emerges victorious, many have speculated that he’ll vacate the title and go after a “super fight” with McGregor. St-Pierre insists that this won’t be the case.
Speaking to ESPN, St-Pierre said he isn’t focused on McGregor:
“Everything is possible but everybody is targeting Conor McGregor because the money. He’s the money fight. But I don’t challenge guys that compete in lower weight class divisions. For me, I don’t do that. I’m going up to fight Michael Bisping now. I’m looking up.”
He went on to praise McGregor for his accomplishments.
“He’s an amazing fighter, it would be an amazing honor, but I don’t know. I don’t know what to say. If the fans want it and he wants it maybe it will happen but right now, I’m focused on Bisping.”
