VID Georges St. Pierre Says Reebok Might Keep Him Out of The UFC But Not MMA

Just the talking is a little problem.. which is ironic if it is about being a spokesperson.
I think someone like Condit would be good there as well.
He seems to be a lot more open and fluent when he's speaking his mind and not being too nice while in the company of the zuffa machine..Reminds me of JCVD lolJust the talking is a little problem.. which is ironic if it is about being a spokesperson.

In the video i thought he said he has a different contract in regards to sponsors so he wouldn't have to wear Reebok in the UFC.
Did he say he could go to another promotion too? I would have thought the champions clause in his contract would prevent that since technically he still is champion.

So Rebok can hold back the UFC from that GSP money? His buys are up there right? Hope he fights again.
I think that I may have interpreted it wrong, and you are indeed correct LOAW. Listening to it again, it appears he is indeed talking about sponsors. I'll edit the OP, so there is no confusion.
Not crazy...I just dont see it happening. The news he's making is about his issues with the UFC, which makes me think he's never returning

it sounds to me, that gsp may soon be a free agent. if the ufc isn't allowed to give him a fight, then they probably have to let him go. the ufc brass would have a stroke, if reebok didn't let him fight in his sponsors shit, or wear it fight week.

People want GSP back because he was so dominant and because he was charismatic enough and had the right look to be popular, but his fights were absolutely fucking terrible to watch.
I know I am in the minority when I say this, but I honestly hope he never comes back.

I'm a really big fan of his, but at this point I don't really want him to come back. As a selfish fan, I do, as someone that wants the best for him, I think he's best to stay away after all this time off.Not crazy...I just dont see it happening.

According to the organization he's no longer the title holder, so he could get out on a loophole with that. I doubt he can leave the org anyways though. He might be the only guy without an ironclad fight count, but no length contract, but I wouldn't count on it. Maybe he does though and we can see him fight Nick at Rizin on New Year's.
I would love for gsp to give the ufc a big fuck you by leaving to fight for another org. especially bellator. but with no one else holding ppv, I just don't think they can afford gsp.. the man's asking price has got to be through the roof. no way he is fighting on cable tv...
if he isn't the champion anymore, then the champion clause doesn't apply right?

If they get GSP and perhaps Fedor, they could certainly have a PPV with that.
Interesting situation. Its possible he was just saying he doesn't intend to get stiffed by the Reebok deal like the rest of the poor saps in the UFC. If the UFC wants him to fight again they are going to have to compensate him for the loss of sponsorship money. I would be surprised if he fought for any organization than the UFC. But who knows what his contract looks like... It would be awesome if he was able to walk away from Zuffa free and clear.
I'm sure zuffa wouldn't mind a ppv or two with gsp's draw, but let's not forget that zuffa claims to have had the best year fianacially this past year. Gsp hasn't fought since 2013 so they're not exactly backed into a corner without him. That being said I'm admittedly gsps number one ball dangler. I'd love to see him back refreshed, but he's got some miles on him.
