The UFC is working on a fight between Canadian Georges St-Pierre and Nate Diaz.

UFC president Dana White made the comments on the UFC’s Unfiltered podcast.

“We are working right now to try to put together a Georges St-Pierre vs. Nate Diaz fight,” he said. “It is true, and they would fight at 155 pounds.”

GSP hasn’t fought since his victory over Michael Bisping at Madison Square Garden in UFC 217. The 36-year-old had to vacate his middleweight title 31 days later after suffering a bout of colitis.
