Georges St. Pierre News

Tom Taylor - July 19, 2018

Yesterday, we learned that the United States Anti-Doping Agency had determined that Anderson Silva’s recent failed drug test had been due to a tainted supplement, and that he’d been handed a one-year suspension for his ingesting this supplement. This suspension is retroactive to October, 2017, which means Silva will be able to fight again this October. As always, Silva will have plenty of interesting options in terms of opponents for his anticipated return to the cage. Perhaps the most compelling option of all, of course, would be his long-time rival Georges St-Pierre.

UFC lightweight standout Kevin Lee (17-3 MMA) is looking to score a fight with mixed martial arts legend Georges St-Pierre this November. “The Motown Phenom” took to Instagram earlier today where he issued the following challenge to the former two division UFC champion.

According to Tristar head coach Firas Zahabi, former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is likely to have sustained a concussion just two weeks out from his battle with Dan Hardy. Zahabi believes St-Pierre sustained this injury in a sparring session. Worried that ending this sparring session could diminish St-Pierre’s confidence, however, Zahabi allowed it continue — with a stipulation. He explained on a recent appearance on the JRE MMA Show.

Tristar head coach Firas Zahabi is hoping that his star pupil, Georges St-Pierre, will follow in the footsteps of Conor McGregor and battle undefeated boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring. In the opinion of veteran combat sports oddsmaker Joey Oddessa, however, there’s almost no point in making this fight — at least, not from a competitive vantage point. He believes St-Pierre would have no chance in a boxing bout with Mayweather, and the betting line for the potential fight would reflect this reality. “There are three certainties in life: Death, taxes, and Floyd Mayweather will not lose to any MMA fighter or boxer in a boxing ring over the duration of his lifetime,” Oddessa told MMAjunkie of this potential boxing match, which will almost certainly never happen.

If Firas Zahabi gets his way, former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre will follow up in the footsteps of Conor McGregor and step into the boxing ring with undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. Zahabi shared his hopes for a St-Pierre vs. Mayweather boxing match on a recent episode of the JRE MMA Show.

In the opinion of former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre, current UFC middleweight Robert Whittaker is the perfect ambassador for the sport of MMA. The Canadian MMA legend gave his take on the Australian champion in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. “He’s a great example and a perfect role model for the sport of mixed martial arts – and you cannot have a better ambassador for the sport,” St-Pierre said. “You guys have the dream guy coming from Australia to represent you.”

UFC President, Dana White and former two-division UFC champion, Georges St-Pierre are no strangers to saying opposite things. White has come out and done so once again. During a recent interview with TSN, the UFC boss stated that GSP is retired.

Current UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov is apparently moving on from Conor McGregor. According to the Russian’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, “The Eagle” is now focused on scoring a fight with former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre.

Former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre wants to fight again, but he doesn’t have a lot of gas left in the tank. For the reason, he’s hoping his last forays into the Octagon will be truly special. “I don’t have much left,” St-Pierre said on a Monday appearance on the JRE MMA Show (transcribed by MMA Fighting). “And for what I have left, I want to make the big fight, the fight that the fans want to see, want to enjoy. I want, personally for me, to achieve something that is unique, that is rare, that maybe has never been attempted before. That would be something that excites me. And I’m not only driven by money. It’s good to have money, we like money, it drives us all, including myself, but it’s not the unique thing that drives me. There needs to be more than money. There needs to be some kind of achievement that comes with that would excite me.”

“Let me say this in a very educated way… I think that those two guys [Georges St-Pierre and Nate Diaz] contemplating fighting is the hugest bitch move on the planet.

The Georges St-Pierre vs the Diaz brothers drama continues. Originally in what started with a longtime rivalry in the making against Nick, St-Pierre appears to be positioned towards a potential bout against the younger Diaz brother, Nate.

The news that’s gotten most of the buzz lately is that of a potential Nate Diaz vs Georges St-Pierre fight in which Dana White confirmed is what he would like to add to UFC 227 in Los Angeles, California on August 4th. While the fight between the former two-division UFC champion and The Ultimate Fighter season 5 winner has yet to be made official, the news alone of it being in the works has confused people to an extent. One of which being a close friend and former training partner of GSP’s at TriStar, retired UFC veteran turned analyst, Kenny Florian.

Report | Georges St-Pierre could return at UFC 227 in Los Angeles Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre (26-2 MMA) could potentially return to the octagon on August 4 in Los Angeles.

Tom Taylor - April 16, 2018

In the eyes of Firas Zahabi, Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter of all time. Now, it’s worth noting that St-Pierre is Zahabi’s star pupil, so he’s understandably biased, but he actually makes some strong arguments for St-Pierre’s case. Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Zahabi explained why he considers St-Pierre the greatest fighter in MMA history. For him, a big part of the argument is that the other GOAT contenders have all lost, or done things to damage their credibility.

You’re lying if you don’t think that the last forty-eight hours have been ridiculous in the MMA world. The joke of all MMA jokes was delivered on the day of jokes but…it wasn’t a joke… The highly anticipated lightweight title battle between interim champion, Tony Ferguson and Khabib Nurmagomedov was called off for the fourth time after Ferguson sustained a freak injury. This puts the two at 2-2 when pulling out of booked fights between them. This one might just not be meant to happen.

Tom Taylor - March 30, 2018

If Tony Ferguson is able to take out Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 on April 7, it’s more than likely that he’ll battle Conor McGregor in the not too distant future. Apparently, however, Ferguson isn’t all that interested in McGregor. “Conor who?” Ferguson said at a UFC 223 media luncheon this week (via MMAJunkie). “I mean, the guy’s not in the picture. Straight up. I mean, bless his heart. He’s made his money. He’s doing his thing. He’s got an education for his kid. That’s what we all want, right?”
