Georges St-Pierre Teases Big Announcement
Former UFC welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre stole headlines today when he announced earlier that he is officially a free agent:
“Well, right now I’m a free agent. You heard it right, I’m a free agent. My lawyer terminated the contract with the UFC.”
‘GSP’ noted disagreements with former UFC owner Lorenzo Fertitta as a key reason to his decision to hit the free agency market:
“Well, what happened is, last February, I told Lorenzo that I wanted to fight again. We had a meeting in Las Vegas, and I came with my agent and I told him that I wanted to fight again, and since February my team was in negotiations with Lorenzo’s. Many name were offered at different dates – UFC 200, New York – but we felt the best date was the Toronto date, so that’s one of the main reason I entered the USADA testing, you know to have my four months prior testing. We had up and down; it’s not always been as good. All negotiations are, it doesn’t end up in only an hour.”
Just hours after his announcement the Canadian legend took to his Instagram account to tease some big news that was ‘unexpected’:

“Big news today, obviously not what I expected to announce… Receiving positive messages from everywhere – No doubt I still have the best fans in the world!!! Merci à tous!”
