The UFC has big plans for the promotion. UFC 290 kicked things off in style with about $10m in revenue coming in from ticket sales. It was one of the most explosive UFC main events in recent history. Now, plans for the next main event are already being made and there is some really big news there.
The UFC roster is growing. Not only are newer and younger fighters joining the roster, but legends are coming back to the promotion to pick up where they left off. Among them is one of UFC’s greatest fighters, Georges St-Pierre. The fighter first came under the spotlight when Khabib Nurmagomedov was being compared to him. He was also seen training Elon Musk in yet another interesting UFC development. And now, there’s news that he might come back to the UFC for a fight.

Another possible fight card is Georges St-Pierre vs Khabib Nurmagomedov. In a recent interview, St-Pierre expressed his interest in a contest against Nurmagomedov. However, there has been no revert from Nurmagomedov or his team. The two fighters have mutual respect for each other.
