Bellator featherweight champion Julia Budd has welcomed a potential fight with the former UFC champion.

Georges St-Pierre will not fight in UFC again
The Canadian fighter has only stepped into the Octagon once since 2013, when he won the middleweight belt from Michael Bisping.
Any UFC fans who were hoping to see the 38-year-old once again return to the sport had their hopes dashed.

Covington makes fun of Matt Hughes’ train crash injuries
Colby Covington extended his UFC win streak to seven with his decision win over Robbie Lawler on Saturday.
His post-fights raised a few eyebrows, though, as he made reference to a train crash Matt Hughes was involved in.
Covington said: “Robbie should've learned from his good buddy Matt Hughes, you stay off the tracks when the trains coming through... Doesn't matter if it's the Trump train or the Colby train..."
Hughes suffered a serious head injury in 2017 when his truck collided with a train but he fortunately recovered.
