– They are very attractive names, but everyone has a different agenda. Some are training for title fights, some are very light, some are very heavy, there are people who have retired and don’t want to compete. I got a list from the UFC, let’s check and see who is available to make a decision with the UFC and my team to make sure it’s someone people want to see me fight.”
A fight between St-Pierre and Anderson Silva has haunted fans’ imaginations since the days when fighters were in their prime. Both fighters were UFC middleweight champions. GSP said he intends to fight in the welterweight division (up to 77.1 kg) and believes the scale of the event can draw more fighters into the duel.
– I’m here to promote this event, I’ll do my best. Maybe other guys will watch and think, ‘I want to be a part of this too,’ he said.
A black belt in jiu-jitsu, Georges St-Pierre, 42, has not competed since 2017, when he beat Michael Bisping to win the UFC middleweight belt (83.9 kg). He retired shortly thereafter. In MMA, the Canadian had a 15-year career as a professional, with 26 wins and only two losses, including two reigns as UFC welterweight champion (77.1 kg).
