“We only live once’, that’s the idea that former king of the Welterweight division Georges St-Pierre is toying with ahead of his possible return to the octagon. St-Pierre left fighting early, however, had an illustrious MMA carreer with 26 wins and an undefeated win streak of 13 fights at the Welterweight division, having avenged both his losses inside the octagon. St-Pierre has returned to the octagon in the past in a winning affair against Michael Bisping when he became one of the very few fighters to hold Championship belts across two division. St-Pierre submitted Michael Bisping to become the new UFC Middleweight Champion of the world. And now ahead of a call-out from Khabib Nurmagomedov, Georges St-Pierre is once again thinking about making his way back to the octagon.

Georges St-Pierre says he is in his best years
Georges St-Pierre has remained fit despite not being an active competitor of the sport. He continues to train alongside Firhas Zahabi, at the Tristar Gym in Canada. Earlier, St-Pierre stated that he would want the fight to take place at the Welterweight division considering he has competed at the Middleweight division and will be heavily compromised if he makes the cut.
