“The truth is that they have already called me a few times. Sometimes they make other people call me to leave a message. But honestly, if I want to come back, it will be when I am willing and tell them that I want to come back”, said the Canadian, in an interview with the program “Undeniable with Joe Buck”.
“In the last two or three fights I was no longer having fun”, continued GSP. “I only did what I needed to do, not because I wanted to and there was still a lot of pressure, a lot of criticism. All this for a long time and it's very difficult when you're a champion, your whole life is directed towards that. Especially with my obsessive-compulsive disorder. I want to be the best in everything I do, everything is focused on that. It's the only thing that matters. I need to take a step back and have a normal social life. Take a mental break from all this”, he analyzed.
At 34, Georges St Pierre has a professional record of 25 wins and only two defeats. The former welterweight champion, who holds the record for victories in the history of Ultimate, has not fought since his victory over John hendricks in November 2013, at UFC 167, an event that marked 20 years of Ultimate.
