Georges St-Pierre made a rare appearance, attending UFC 196 this past weekend. While Dana White said he still doesn't know if the former welterweight champion wants to make a comeback, he did reveal that he was talking to him about a possible return.

Donald Cerrone has called him out for a UFC 200 bout, but it seems like GSP's camp has an eye on a different lightweight contender instead. Firas Zahabi took to twitter to call for a battle between St-Pierre and Nate Diaz, who won an impressive welterweight match against Conor McGregor.

@NateDiaz209 let me see what I can do...I know @GeorgesStPierre was very impressed by your performance. & So was I. https://t.co/jFu3hSt0Q2 — Firas Zahabi (@Firas_Zahabi) March 9, 2016

Diaz, on his part, mentioned that he only wants big fights moving forward, and as Zahabi notes, this "real money fight" certainly qualifies as one. Nate was also recently asking for that very bout against the the all-time great before he got booked against McGregor.

"I just told Dana White, 'I'm going to 170'," Diaz told BJPenn.com before UFC 196. "I’m not fighting these guys. Pettis, Alvarez, all these scary-ass fighters don’t want to fight me. So what the hell am I going to do, sit around this division and wait for a fight?"

"So, it’s all good, I’m going to go up to 170 then. Start eating. I texted that to Dana," he said. "We were talking the day before they called me. I said, 'I'm trying to get the GSP fight' because I heard he’s coming back. He said, 'Oh, I think he wants to fight Lawler.' And then he called me the next day (to book the McGregor fight)."

After UFC 196, Dana White said the massive win over McGregor raised Diaz's stock, and it would "make sense" to book Nate against Robbie Lawler next. He says the welterweight title bout could sell well since it already has a built in story line with Lawler's history with Nate's brother, Nick.

GSP also has history with Nick Diaz, having gone to a decision against him back in 2013.

St-Pierre, who is widely considered as one of the best ever in MMA, is now 34-years-old and hasn't fought in over 2 years.
