“There’s also the fact that martial arts have been introduced when I was very young, and it’s probably the best thing I can do in my life. Fighting, that’s why I do best. Also, it provides me a freedom, access of things that most of people do not have,” he further added, referring to the motivating factors behind him being a fighter.
“And a lot of money, I made a lot of money. I was maybe pre disposed with certain abilities, I met incredible mentors throughout my life. I work really hard and of course, I had a lot of chances. The stars were all aligned. And in order to keep those advantages of freedom, money, glory, and access of people most people don’t have, and have this dream life I have, I had to sacrifice myself and fight, in order to keep it,” ‘GSP’ concluded.

St-Pierre last fought at UFC 217, winning the middleweight championship against Michael Bisping. Considering his age and time of inactivity, it’s highly unlikely fans will ever see ‘Rush’ back in action. A fight with former UFC lightweight champion and recently retired Khabib Nurmagomedov was teased, but that won’t happen in the foreseeable future, it seems.
Nevertheless, St-Pierre had an incredible legacy inside the Octagon. So, even if he never fights again, he will remain a legendary figure among UFC and MMA fans.
