Everyone has been shying away from it, but UFC president Dana White put a target to UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre’s return from knee injury.

It wasn’t hard and fast, obviously pending St-Pierre’s recovery, but the planned UFC 154 event in Montreal this November has a GSP bullseye on it.

White said as much when confirming that the UFC is pairing Johny Hendricks with Martin Kampmann. Hendricks vs. Kampmann would don the UFC 154 undercard in support of a Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit main event.

St-Pierre’s rehabilitation, which he has been posting updates about on YouTube and Facebook, has been going well. He recently posted a video of his workout, commenting that he was feeling no pain at all in his knee.

If both fights come together for Montreal, it would become a welterweight blockbuster similar to UFC 146’s heavyweight focus.

The main event would serve to unify St-Pierre’s belt with Condit’s interim championship, while Hendricks vs. Kampmann would likely determine the unified champion’s next contender.

Hendricks bested perennial contender Josh Koscheck in his most recent fight, while Kampmann recently TKO’d Jake Ellenberger.

White fell short of guaranteeing the scenario, but if St-Pierre is healthy, it’s more than likely that it will play out as planned.

This is a good idea, that way if GSP cant go they have 2 guys ready to step in.

Would anybody like to see an all WW main card?

The WW division is hot right now.

Maybe throw in Ellenberger vs Koscheck

Diego Sanchez vs Mike Pyle

Mike Pierce vs Erick Silva

That would be a pretty good card. I like it when the top contenders fight on the same card as the current champions. The turnaround for the next title defense is usually shorter when done this way.

sounds like nothing but sense

Meh who cares.

being a WW means there is a 75% chance you are a homosexual

Rhythm, I agree, but don't expect the UFC to think in any kind of logic. when this happens it is accidental.

Also, I think GSP will not fight again.

Being at WW is another way for saying " I wear extra-medium shirts , and most have a popped collar "

Are you serious?

[ninjabag]

Yes. I think GSP is done. He doesn't have to fight anymore and facing a loss terrifies him. April 2011 Was his last fight... Now it's duck, tuck, and count the $. Only a hunch. Not based on any rumor or gym chatter.

[cam]

what a bunch of bullshit that is

he is injured and nothing more. These conspiracy theories are rediculous.

[ninjabag]

A hunch Cam. Relax. I love to see him fight, but I think he is done.

[Crunchie]

Ok, I'm glad its a hunch.

I say he comes back, beats Condit, demands a match against Nick, bloodies him unless Diaz is a no-show. Then Rory is offered a title shot and GSP decides to moves to MW instead.

I is relaxed, i promise

ya he is not gonna fight Rory. I would love to see him smash Diaz though. AS for Condit he is by far the biggest threat.

[ninjabag]

I hope Crunchie's scenario plays out.

is GSP really big enough to use his strengths in MW

how would him and Sonnen go?

[killemall]

I want GSP to lose the title so that he can go back to destroying fools in 3 round matches.

During his rehab sessions, it looks like he put on muscle.
