Dana White has said that Georges St-Pierre’s return is official, and they’ve agreed to terms for a comeback fight. Despite the UFC president’s statement, St-Pierre himself says he’s managing expectations and that it’s still not finalized just yet.

The two parties have had discussions for years now, and according to the all-time great, after getting “close” a few times before, he has learned to “to not be too excited for nothing.”

"Nothing official yet," GSP told Neil Davidson of The Canadian Press. "No opponent, no date."

While there are no shortage of big fights and possible opponents available, St-Pierre’s words do coincide with what White said. On Dana’s announcement, he also…

This sounds like a bit of a semantics to me. He didn't say that he hasn't signed an agreement with the UFC just that he didn't have a date and opponent for a fight.

All I want to know is is whether or not he's under a newly signed contract to fight with the UFC.

He could have signed the contract but that doesn't mean he is going to come back. It just means he is under contract.

He realized he would have to fight the count!


I don't blame him for tucking tail and staying up there in the Canadian forests

The only thing more boring than GSP's unnecessarily drawn out statements about returning is an unnecessarily drawn out GSP fight.

He definitely holds the record for most minutes fighting to stay out of the octagon.

He's probably having trouble getting any of the Champs to agree to fight him. GSP could take the WW and MW titles in the same night.

If these two could actually power ranger morph together oh the beatings they would hash out.
The strategy, the distance control, the wrestling, the speed, the one punch power, the confidence, the humble nature that allows them both to learn... That would be quite a nasty fighter.

sound that like he doesn't consider it "official" until he has an opponent, not that the deal isn't done. Seems like it's much ado about nothing. Like...with the lady. yea, we will spend the rest of our lives together no matter what but a ring makes it "official" lol
