GSP signs new deal with UFC

[Clappin'Daddys]

Georges St-Pierre, the former UFC welterweight champion and a man widely considered to be the greatest 170-pound fighter to ever compete, is officially back under the UFC umbrella.

St-Pierre inked a new deal with the promotion on Friday, setting the stage for a return to the UFC more than three years after St-Pierre stepped away from the sport.

MMA Fighting confirmed the news Friday following an initial report by Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times. MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani previously reported on Wednesdaythat St-Pierre and the UFC were close to finalizing a new contract.

St-Pierre, 35, now returns to the same organization he ruled over from 2007 until 2013 as one of the most popular figures in the sport. He defended his UFC welterweight title nine consecutive times throughout his second title reign — a record for the division — culminating in a hard-fought split decision over Johny Hendricks in Nov. 2013.


Georges St-Pierre officially re-signs with UFC

He needs to reveal who's he's fighting as he didn't sign a contract to "hopefully" get a fight at some point........for the record, Chael pointed this fact out and I agree 100% with it....

It's obviously going to be the Count. Fucking BLAF is a shitty liar. Fuck you Egg!

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

Cant wait to see BJ beat him up again

Maia would be awesome but he wants to wait (understandably) for the title shot. Anderson would be a money maker. I really have no desire to see him fight bisbing.

 

[Jonny Quest]

Id like to see him against Anderson as well.

Fuck Dana White and his 'he'll never fight again' shit talk. I understand he's a promoter and by all accounts a really nice dude if you meet him, but he's a piece of shit when it comes to slamming fighters in the media when they won't bow to his will then posting stuff like this when he can make a buck off their blood.

I predict he'll crush the count and get dismantled by Maia if they ever fight and have his head removed by Woodley if he ever gets to that stage.
