Former dominant UFC welterweight champion, Georges St Pierre has not yet made his return to MMA official. However, the Canadian expressed his desire, if he does return to fight, to face an old acquaintance in the Octagon again: Nick Diaz.

GSP has already beaten Diaz in the past, with a unanimous decision in 2013. Recently, however, Nick went public to say that he “had been drugged” by one of the Canadian's employees before the fight, in addition to accusing his rival of not making weight. .

In an interview with the North American website “Bloody Elbow”, St. Pierre declared that he would accept a new confrontation with Diaz without any problems. “I don't care if it's my first, second or third fight [after returning]. If you want me to fight Nick Diaz, it will be a pleasure. I don't care, I'm not afraid of Nick Diaz. I already beat him last time and it will be even worse. I would beat him even worse the next time we face each other”, declared the Canadian.

In order to return without major controversy, St. Pierre revealed that he has already joined the anti-doping policy of USADA, the United States Agency that is the UFC's official partner in the fight against banned substances. The regulations provide that every athlete who was previously on leave must undergo a mandatory period of four months of examinations to be released for competitions.

“I don't want to be an exception, because I've always been very open about performance-enhancing substances. It would be bad for my reputation if I were an exception. And I don't want to have a free pass, I want to be like everyone else. That's why I started the process on August 10th. I don’t have any fights scheduled, but it will happen: if I’m being tested it’s for some reason”, commented the Canadian.

If he passes the mandatory four months of exams, St. Pierre would only be released to fight from December 10th. This would leave him out, for example, of the first event that will be held by the UFC in New York, on November 12th, in which it was speculated.
