UFC legend Georges St-Pierre explained why a matchup against UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman doesn’t motivate him to return to MMA.
On Saturday night at UFC 258, Usman broke GSP’s record for most consecutive wins at 170lbs with 13 in a row. For many fans, St-Pierre and Usman are the No. 1 and No. 2 greatest welterweights of all time, and so of course people want to see them fight. Especially after seeing Usman’s dominant win over Gilbert Burns, fans want to find out who the best ever is.
Speaking to JD Bunkis and Ben Ennis on “The Good Show” on Sportsnet 590 The Fan, St-Pierre said that he is not interested in fighting Usman right now. He explained that COVID-19 travel restrictions are part of the problem, but most importantly, GSP admitted he’s just not motivated to step back in the Octagon.
