GSP: MacDonald will be a champion, but I have no interest in fighting him

“I’m not interested in fighting him,” St-Pierre said. “There are a lot of welterweights. I don’t think we need to do it now. In two years, who knows? I may go to middleweight. Who knows what’s going to happen?”
St-Pierre and Condit both train with Greg Jackson, and they’re going to fight later this year. So what makes MacDonald different?
According to St-Pierre, he and Condit haven’t ever really been training partners. MacDonald, meanwhile, is both a training partner and friend. And for a guy who has a hard time disliking people, fighting a friend just isn’t a possibility worth a discussing.
“I have a hard time fighting guys I like already,” he said. “When I fought Jake Shields, I had a hard time fighting him. So fighting a friend? I can’t do it. Right now, there are so many guys right now, it’s not an issue.
“But I know one day [MacDonald] is going to be world champion.”
