This Friday (21), Georges St Pierre, former UFC welterweight champion, launched a challenge against the light heavyweight Alexander Gustafson. But this, of course, is far from the Octagon. The Canadian fighter, who is temporarily away from fighting, wants to make a bet against the Swede in the men's hockey final at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
In search of the second consecutive gold medal, Canada beat the United States 1-0 and advanced to the final, facing the young team from Sweden, who beat arch-rival Finland 2-1.
GSP decided to provoke on his account Twitter. “My friend John Cholish [North American, former UFC fighter] will have to wear a Canadian hockey team shirt because we beat the United States. Alex, are you ready to make the same bet?” he said. However, Gustafsson's last interaction on the social network was on the 17th, which leaves the situation open until then.
The decision between Canada and Sweden will be on Sunday, at 9 am Brasília time.
