UFC icon Georges St-Pierre may have just left the door open for Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions to book their next mixed martial arts dream fight after this weekendâs Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight.
To many long-time UFC fans, St-Pierre is the greatest fighter in MMA history. The Canadian put together a stellar resume during his 15 years in the sport. He posted a 26-2 record and will go down as the greatest welterweight of all time after successfully defending the title 10 times. He then cemented his place as a true legend when he returned in 2017, after four years in retirement, to win the UFC middleweight belt.
It was the perfect way to end his incomparable career, and he has never returned to high-level competition since. However, he kept the door open in a new interview with MMA Junkie this week. During the conversation, he admitted he âgets requests maybe once or twice a month for either fighting in MMA, boxing, wrestling, or grappling.â
Yet instead of saying he turned them all down because he was done competing in high-level combat sports, he said it just wasnât the right time to get involved in any of those opportunities. He is prioritizing other projects at the moment and is dealing with a recent back injury. Nevertheless, the 44-year-old UFC great isnât completely against one last matchup in something.
