The opponent of Georges St-Pierre in the grappling tournament has been determined

Legendary Canadian former UFC champion in two weight categories George St. Pierre and perennial promotion title contender in the welterweight division Brazilian Demian Maya will compete in grappling at the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 6 tournament. The sporting event will take place on December 14 in Las Vegas.

“George, you are one of the greatest fighters for whom I have great respect. I'm in the game and waiting for the fight, ”Maya wrote on social networks.

Recall that the 42-year-old St. Pierre had his last fight in professional MMA in November 2017, when he strangled Michael Bisping and won the UFC middleweight title. Maya, 45, who is one of the best grapplers in MMA history, has not been in the cage since June 2021
