“Georges and I spoke a few days ago when he was in Vegas and he said he wants to fight. We will resolve this. We are talking about Tyron woodley e Demian Maia. These two will fight soon and this will free up the welterweight champion for Georges St-Pierre to return and for him to try to regain his belt”, declared White, in an interview with the website 'MMA Junkie'.

St. Pierre hasn't fought since November 2013, when he crashed John hendricks and shortly thereafter announced his indefinite retirement from MMA. In total, he has a professional record of 25 wins and two losses. In the UFC, he has 20 triumphs and two setbacks, with nine title defenses in the welterweight category.
