UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre sparked some interesting talk Tuesday when he mentioned a possible move to lightweight.

St-Pierre, who has been mentioned in super-fights with Anderson Silva for the past several years, talked about his weight on The Joe Rogan Experience.

"I don't do much cutting. It would be easier for me to go fight at 155 than fight at 185," St-Pierre said. "I would be more at my weight. I'm not a big guy, I'm not thick."

UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson stated his desire to face GSP in the near future, but was turned down by UFC president Dana White. St-Pierre reiterated that Silva is "very big" and that it's a "lot of weight difference."

GSP also failed to say for sure what would be in his future, but added that a match with Johny Hendricks is "probably" next.

I would actually like to see this more. I've always thought Anderson would smash Georges if they were ever to fight and I think he matches up better with Jon Jones quite honestly.

Now, considering Bendo's current up and coming status and his complete domination of the UFC lightweight division - he should be rewarded to his proposal of an a superfight. I personally believe that GSP Vs Bendo would be a mile a minute match and definitely fight of the night. So quite honestly, I believe a 155 move would be a better for GSP and the longevity of his career because he mentioned if he was to face Anderson Silva he would retire afterwards.
