Kamaru Usman successfully defended the UFC Welterweight Championship against Gilbert Burns this past weekend at UFC 258.
Former UFC Welterweight Champion and retired MMA fighter Georges St. Pierre seems to be the perfect opponent for Usman to fight in the future, but GSP doesn’t seem too interested in facing the champion.
“To go back and give three months of my life in a training camp to get a win over Kamaru Usman doesn’t get me motivated,” St. Pierre said on The Good Show (via MMA Junkie). “I don’t think there’s anything that would get me motivated to go back to competition now. I’m not sure.
“Try to put yourself in my shoes and try to come back. First, if I come back to fight Kamaru Usman, I would literally have to leave the country. I would have to bring my coaches somewhere, find a base camp, fly in training partners to get ready for Usman. But leaving my home, I don’t want to do it. I’m healthy. I’m wealthy. It’s not appealing to me to lose three months of my life, the stress, to try and get a win over Usman. As time passed by, it’s getting less and less appealing. And I don’t think there’s anybody now that would make me come back. I’m good. I will always train and be in shape.”
GSP last competed at UFC 217 in November of 2017, defeating Michael Bisping by second round submission to win the UFC Middleweight Title.
