Dana White: Georges St-Pierre Shouldn’t Fight Anymore
The Octagon return for former UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre has never been closer, as news came this week that ‘Rush’ could return as soon as December’s UFC 206 from Toronto in his home country of Canada.
St-Pierre has been teasing a return to mixed martial arts (MMA) for some time now; however, nothing concrete has yet to surface indicating that the return is officially in the books. While the former 170-pound champ has a plethora of supporters across the world, one man who is not on the ‘GSP’ support team is UFC President Dana White.
In a recent appearance on ‘The Herd’ on Thursday courtesy of FOX Sports, White admitted that he just doesn’t believe ‘GSP’ possesses the ‘drive and that desire that he once had’ to be the best in the combat sports world.
“I don’t care how big you are or how much money you make or how much money you bring into the company — if you don’t want to fight anymore, you shouldn’t fight anymore. This is a sport you’re all in, you can’t be wishy-washy.
The UFC President clearly doesn’t have the confidence that his former top pay-per-view (PPV) draw will once again reign as the undisputed pound-for-pound best mixed martial artist in the world like he once did, but we may get the opportunity to find out if White’s views are in fact correct if St-Pierre decides to step into the Octagon at UFC 206 in his native Canada.
