St-Pierre released from UFC contract

Former UFC champion in two weight divisions George St. Pierre announced that he is more contractually bound with the promotion.

“I am free and I can do whatever I want. But the days when I tried to prove that I am the strongest fighter in the world are long gone. I am healthy, which is the most important thing, and rich, so I can do what I like.

I could participate in something if it is well organized and the risk of injury is kept to a minimum. Nothing crazy, because my competitive days are in the past. But if I sign up for something, I will do it well and train with all my might. Never say never, but it needs the right time and conditions,” said the Canadian.

Recall that Saint-Pierre had his last fight in October 2017, and in February 2019 he announced his retirement. Later, the Canadian wanted to have a boxing match with Oscar De La Hoya, but did not receive permission from the UFC leadership.
