The Olympic gold medalist recently called out the UFC Hall of Famer for a freestyle wrestling match under the Real American Freestyle banner, proposing a meeting at RAF 14 in Las Vegas on Oct. 3.
Burroughs names GSP his top choice and proposes an Oct. 3 showdown at RAF 14
Burroughs discussed a potential match with St. Pierre during an appearance on “The Ariel Helwani Show” after his recent RAF victory over Sean Brady on Aug. 22. When the Canadian’s name came up as a possible opponent, Burroughs made his interest clear.
“Yeah, Georges, if you're out there, I would love to compete against you,” Burroughs said. “I'd love to wrestle you. I honor you. I honor your legacy. And I don't want to embarrass you. I don't want to humiliate you. I just would love to share the stage with you. And so, he's No. 1. He's at the very top of my list.”
Burroughs then proposed a date and location.
“Georges, if you're out there and are watching this show, make it happen. Las Vegas, Oct. 3.”
St. Pierre has not competed professionally since submitting Michael Bisping to capture the UFC middleweight title in 2017. He officially retired from mixed martial arts in 2019 and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame the following year.
Burroughs is next scheduled to face Magomed Kurbanaliev at RAF Moscow on Sept. 5.
Jordan Burroughs says GSP is the dream matchup he wants most:
