Dana White shocked the world when he revealed that Georges St-Pierre would be making his return to the octagon to challenge Michael Bisping for the UFC Middleweight Championship immediately despite taking several years off from the sport.
While fans were not shocked about the return of St-Pierre, they were caught off guard by the fact that he would get to jump over the rest of the middleweight challengers after being inactive for years. Fighters like Yoel Romero, Luke Rockhold, and Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza have all been overlooked in favor of the big money fight.
St-Pierre had dominated the welterweight division and cemented his legacy as one of the greatest fighters to ever step foot inside the octagon. With dominant wins over the likes of Dan Hardy, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz, and Carlos Condit, it became increasingly difficult to find a challenge for the Canadian great.
St-Pierre stated that he was in the best shape of his career all the while being the biggest he’s ever been, but recent images are showing that he’s rocking quite the case of dad-bod. St-Pierre left the sport thanks due to the concern of performance enhancing drugs and came back after USADA made their presence felt.
