Ex manager: GSP will come back for one more fight
“I can’t say George St-Pierre’s going to come back and go on a title run and do 10 fights, but I know for sure he’s going to come back for one fight.”
Stephane Patry, fight promoter and former manager of Georges St-Pierre, knows the Montreal mixed martial arts scene, appeared recently on Ariel Helwani‘s The MMA Hour and said he believes the former UFC welterweight champion is not completely done fighting.
“Georges is going to come back for one fight,” said Patry as transcribed by Dave Doyle for MMAFighting.com. “I can’t say he’s going to come back and go on a title run and do 10 fights, but I know for sure he’s going to come back for one fight.”
“It’s one of those things where, Georges got injured, which is something that wasn’t expected, and Anderson Silva got caught with steroids, so I mean, there’s a lot of things that have happened in the past few months that can change the scenario a little bit. But I know that Georges has the will, and he wants one more fight. He doesn’t want to leave the sport with that fight with [Johny] Hendricks, I know that for a fact.”
“He’s going to come back for that one fight everyone wants to see. Everyone points to Anderson Silva, if he was going to fight on that card, then Dana didn’t offer him Anderson Silva. So he’s not going to come back for one fight that doesn’t mean much in the history of mixed martial arts. He wants to make history with that one fight. With what happened with Anderson in that one fight and his problems with the commission, I don’t know what’s going to happen now.”
“If Georges would ask my opinion, should I come back for one fight, I would say absolutely not. You’ve done so much for the sport, so much for the UFC, you’ve done everything, there might be no one out there who did what you did. Just enjoy life.”
