Georges St-Pierre recently revealed that he started subjecting himself to USADA out of competition drug testing as part of the process to return to the UFC.
No official announcement has been made about his return from the UFC, but the first date he could potentially fight would be December 10th. As to who he might fight, it’s up in the air. Rumors have circulated he was offered a middleweight title fight with Michael Bisping, but it didn’t work out.
A lot of fans are interested in a rematch with Nick Diaz who also recently become eligible for a return. When asked about fighting Diaz, St-Pierre was open to it, but had a warning for Diaz:
The biggest fight everyone is talking about right now is Diaz-McGregor II, what do you think of that fight, what do you think of McGregor’s style in general? And the Diazs, are you still not getting along too well with them – I know you had some rough history.
GSP: I have no problem with Nate. It seems to me to me like it’s Nick Diaz that is running for another shot at me. I wouldn’t mind, I’m not afraid of Nick Diaz, I’ll tell you. I am telling you right now: If it’s what the fans want to see, I’m in.
Is Diaz going to be your first fight back in the Octagon?
GSP: I don’t care if it’s the first, or second, or third. If they want me to fight Nick Diaz it would be my pleasure. I don’t mind, I am not afraid of Nick Diaz, I beat him last time, and I’ll beat even worse, I’ll beat him way worse next time that I’ll fight him.
I beat him last time easily, but I was not happy – It’s one of these fights that I’m not happy with. Because I didn’t feel like I gave enough, for different reasons. It left me angry that fight, when I look back at it – maybe I won, but for some reason it left me angry and I feel like I could have done so much better.
Did he get in your head a bit? He got into a lot of people’s heads.
GSP: He got in people’s heads, but everybody knows who’s who, who’s bringing which set of skills, I have no problem, I’m not afraid of him.
