Georges St Pierre A Former UFC Champion And Arguably, The Greatest Fighter, To Ever Grace An Octagon Is looking Different In New Picture.
Georges St-Pierre, a former welterweight champion, has not fought inside the Octagon since scoring a middleweight title after defeating Michael Bisping via third round rear-naked choke at UFC 217 last November. St-Pierre forfeits the strap shortly after winning it, citing ulcerative colitis.
Now ‘Rush’ is feeling healthy and recently mentioned the possibility of fighting the winner of the Khabib Nurmagomedov and former two-division champ Conor McGregor at some point in the future.
Judging by his recent picture where he notably looks trimmer it seems like St-Pierre is Octagon ready.
‘Rush’ has got plenty of time to get his job done. As Khabib Nurmagomedov will make his first title defense in the main event of UFC 229 against Conor Mcgregor, who’s returning to Octagon after two years of hiatus on October 6 from Las Vegas.
UFC president Dana White seemed on board with GSP returning this year, but suggested he wouldn’t offer ‘Rush’ a winner of Khabib vs. Conor, but fans have some other ideas after a new picture of former champion emerged.
