Tyron Woodley is a beast not just as a welterweight, but in MMA in general. His physique is frightening, and his speed and punishing power are something to look out for in the UFC's welterweight division. If Georges St-Pierre was to make a comeback, Woodley would be a very exciting opponent for him to face. Both fighters have outstanding wrestling, and GSP would have a huge challenge for his comeback.

Brown has stated that he would destroy GSP and that at his best GSP stands no chance. Brown wants to fight his way to the title, and a win over GSP would help him do just that. This potential matchup has fireworks written all over it.

Who doesn't want to see a Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz rematch ? With Diaz fighting Anderson Silva in January, both a win or a loss could quite easily set up the bout. Fans and writers alike would simply love to see Diaz and GSP go at it one more time. Diaz still believes he could beat GSP, and with both fighters holding a better understanding of each other's style, a second bout would be even better than the first.

2. Anderson Silva

A superfight between two of the greatest MMA fighters of all time has been discussed for many years. With both Silva and St-Pierre now not holding titles in their respective divisions, this potential bout is becoming more realistic. This fight would without a doubt cement their legacies even further, and both legends would more than likely put on a display of MMA that will go down in the history books.

The winner of Rory MacDonald versus the winner of Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler is the most obvious potential opponent in the UFC for Georges St-Pierre. He deserves nothing less than the opportunity to fight for the welterweight championship which he vacated. If his comeback does take place, a bout with any of these fighters would create a buzz in the MMA world.
