“I retired not because I can’t fight anymore”- Georges St-Pierre
“I retired not because I can’t fight anymore. And I could fight again if I wanted to and I believe I could probably be one of the best, maybe the best. But I stopped because of the stress.
“It was an unbearable feeling for me, so I never enjoyed it, the moment of competing and fighting. That’s something that, a little bit, I regret. I should have enjoyed it more. The stress took a lot out of me and that’s one of the reasons why I retired.

“In my sport, there is a lot of mental warfare. There is a lot of trash talking. There is a lot of intimidation. A lot of my opponents tried to intimidate me. It didn’t work.
“I’ve always been scared, of course, but I am scared of not being good enough, of not performing, or not being as good as I want to be. That’s what I am scared of. I am scared of myself in a way,” said GSP.
GSP might have called it quits on his glittering career, but fans are hoping to see ‘Rush’ return to the octagon, yet again.
