GSP Won't Return

Editorial by

 The former UFC welterweight champion decided to take a break from fighting after a close decision win over Johny Hendricks in November, and he’s not considering a return to the cage anytime soon.

According to the Canadian in an interview to Brazilian website Combate, he’s not happy with the way things are handled in MMA today.

"I’m not sure," GSP said when asked if he will return to the UFC one day. "I see what’s going on in MMA and I like the fact that I don’t have to think about it. I just want to step aside and watch them fight, see what’s going to happen and a bunch other things I can’t say right now (laughs). Maybe, one day, if the things happen like I think they should happen, I’ll return. I don’t know how long it may take, but I’m waiting."

St-Pierre vacated his title to leave the fighting business, and he doesn’t seem worried about being a world champion anymore. In fact, he would rather return in a non-title fight if the challenge is more interesting.

"I got to a point in my career that, even though I loved the belt, I wasn’t fighting for it anymore," he said. "It had more to do with my opponent and the challenge. I rather fight a better fighter with no title on the line than fighting a regular fighter in a title fight. The fight itself is what interests me the most."
