GEORGE ST. PIERRE
On Saturday, December 14th George St. Pierre vacated his UFC Welterweight championship and announced he was leaving MMA for the time being according to an article on The Province (read the article here). For seven years GSP has been the welterweight champion and the UFC's biggest drawing card to date.
There were many that were anticipating a fight between Anderson Silva and GSP to prove who the best fighter in the world really is. That fight may never happen.
GSP did not say how long he would be gone from MMA, or if he would return but just said, "I need to have a normal life for a bit." As a fan I can respect that and after seven years as a champion I think he deserves a normal life.
GSP is 32 years old so he can come back when ever he feels ready. He is a superstar of the sport. MMA fans will receive him with open arms and will eagerly await his match with the current Welterweight champion if he decides to return to MMA.
I wish him well in whatever path he decides to take. Enjoy your rest GSP. You earned it.
THE PROFESSOR
