According to White, St. Pierre does not have the will to compete at a high level in the UFC again. “I offered him a fight in Montreal, and he said he wasn't ready. I'm on the fence. Now, I'm trying to accept that he's not coming back. He's rich and doesn't need to do anything he doesn't want to do. Now he's doing some movies. I've met him at basketball games, at shows... Fighting is something you have to be hungry to do, you have to want it. He hasn’t been feeling hungry for a while,” explained White, in an interview with the North American broadcaster “FOX Sports”.

St. Pierre stopped fighting at the beginning of last year, leaving open the possibility of one day resuming his career. At the time, the Canadian relinquished the UFC welterweight belt, which he had held since 2008. At 33 years old, GSP's professional MMA record is 25 wins and two losses.
