White indicated that St-Pierre’s return was trending to do well over 1 million pay-per-view buys, including a record number in Canada.

The evening was precisely the shot in the arm the UFC needed after a rough stretch over the past couple months in which PPV buys and television numbers both dropped to alarming lows.

So, flush with Saturday night’s success, the UFC boss tried to get out ahead of the game and engineer GSP’s next fight.

White proclaimed St-Pierre would next meet Robert Whittaker, holder of an interim middleweight belt created while Bisping was out rehabbing a knee injury.

“It’s going to be Whittaker,” White told reporters at the UFC 217 post-fight news conference. “I don’t even know what’s going on with GSP. He was transported to the hospital, so he’s got to get stitches on his nose. …. [St-Pierre] took some big shots from the top position and if he didn’t do that he probably would’ve come out unscratched. So yeah, he’s got to go to the hospital right now. We’ll see how he is and what the status is with him.”

Dana should have learned to keep his mouth shut when it comes to GSP.

If Dana wants to make money more than he wants a legit sport then he'll have GSP go down and beat Woodley.

That sets up GSP/Conor at 165 to bring in the new weight classes and crown the p4p champ of the world as the winner will hold 3 titles at the same time. (Even if technically they had to give up the 145 and 185 belts in order to move classes)

It's always been up to GSP, this contact bollocks about him having to face Whitaker next is nonsense.

Although it probably is written into his contract that Whitaker is next, what is Dana White going to do about it if he doesn't want to fight?

Can you imagine the conversation?

Dana "You're fighting Whitaker next!"

GSP "I'm fighting Conor next"

Dana "No you're not"

GSP "Fine then, I'm retiring and taking the biggest PPV in UFC history with me. Au Revoir!"

Dana "Ok, you got Conor next"

Dana: you need to fight whittaker next since you insisted on fighting in this division

GSP beats Whittaker in Australia and then Woodley in St Louis, drops the mic and retires.

GOAT.

Gsp will do what he’s told.....Dana ain’t stupid.
He will accept a fight with McGregor at 145 like he promised when he came back. He said he could make the weight so that’s happening
