Thompson says is now willing to fight his friend, Georges St-Pierre, for the UFC welterweight title.

Stephen Thompson may have had a change of heart over friend and former training partner, Georges St-Pierre.

Although 'Wonderboy' has formed a great bond with St-Pierre, the two-time UFC title challenger is willing to put his friendship on hold if it means he gets another crack at the welterweight belt.

GSP, the former welterweight kingpin, vacated the title after narrowly beating Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. The Canadian star announced his return to the UFC earlier this year and was expected to challenge Michael Bisping for the middleweight strap in July.
