While his legacy may reside in the octagon, St-Pierre told MMA Fighting that if he ever does return to active competition, it’ll be in a different sport - one with less risks than MMA. St-Pierre has the distinction of defeating every man he’s ever faced, as he avenged both of his UFC losses to Matt Hughes and Matt Serra with devastating stoppage wins. The Canadian icon closed out his career in 2017 on a 13-fight win streak and holds countless records for the 170-pound division, having defended his welterweight title nine consecutive times before vacating his title and stepping away from the sport for four years in 2013. St-Pierre, 41, is widely considered the greatest welterweight to ever compete in MMA. When I go with a guy, when I spar with a guy, I still get it. I have other priorities in life and I’m still training, I’m still getting it. Who knows? But my days of trying to prove I’m the strongest man in the world, it’s gone.

If it’s for a good cause, it’s well organized, who knows? I could do boxing or grappling. “It might piss off the UFC that I’m here, but I did it because, like I said, I have the freedom now to do whatever I want, with whoever I want, whenever I want. I couldn’t be here today if I was under UFC contract,” St-Pierre told MMA Fighting ahead of the Paul vs. The UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division champion revealed over the weekend that he is no longer under UFC contract now that he is nearly five years removed from his retirement bout against Michael Bisping at UFC 217, which saw St-Pierre capture the middleweight championship and cement himself as one of the greatest fighters of all-time. Georges St-Pierre isn’t ruling out a return to combat sports now that he’s a free man.
