Georges St-Pierre teases "announcement tomorrow"

Tom Taylor - December 29, 2020

Former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre says he’ll have an announcement for his fans on Wednesday. St-Pierre is currently retired, but has frequently been linked to a potential fight with unbeaten UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. While it certainly seems like a long shot that he’ll be announcing that fight tomorrow, it’s clear he has something in the pipeline.

Daniel Cormier says Khabib Nurmagomedov would only return for superfight with Georges St. Pierre

Adam D Martin - December 27, 2020

UFC analyst Daniel Cormier says that UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov would only return for a superfight with Georges St. Pierre. Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from MMA following a second-round submission win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, a victory that improved his career record to 29-0. Nurmagomedov has said many times that getting to 30-0 is one of his goals, but after his father Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov passed away in July from COVID-19, he said that he no longer wanted to continue to step into the Octagon.

Adam D Martin - November 15, 2020

Michael Bisping pegged Georges St-Pierre as the one fight he would “do over,” while also claiming that he would have retired had he won. Bisping and GSP met back at UFC 217 in November 2017. At the time, Bisping was the UFC middleweight champion and was coming off of back-to-back wins over Luke Rockhold and Dan Henderson in title fights. GSP, meanwhile, was coming back after a four-year layoff as he moved up to 185lbs for the first time during his UFC career.

Harry Kettle - October 28, 2020

Georges St-Pierre has offered up his thoughts on the ever-present debate regarding who the GOAT of mixed martial arts really is. St-Pierre, who last fought back in November 2017, has been a man in demand over the course of the last few days in the wake of Khabib Nurmagomedov’s retirement. Many fans and pundits alike were hoping that St-Pierre would go head to head with Nurmagomedov somewhere down the road, but now, it doesn’t appear as if it’s ever likely to happen.

Georges St-Pierre says Khabib Nurmagomedov had the "perfect" career

Adam Martin - October 25, 2020

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre congratulated pound-for-pound great Khabib Nurmagomedov on an amazing career, one that GSP calls “perfect.” Nurmagomedov retired following his second-round submission win over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254, leading to UFC president Dana White hailing him as the greatest fighter of all time. Another fighter in the mix for the title of GOAT is GSP, the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion. At this point, it may very well be between those two and perhaps a few others like Jon Jones and Anderson Silva in the elite GOAT club of MMA.

Adam Martin - October 7, 2020

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre says he has been impressed with Israel Adesanya, calling the UFC middleweight champion “a perfect fighter.” Adesanya has quickly become one of the biggest superstars in mixed martial arts.
