Georg St. Pierre, GSP, coming out of retirement for an exhibition contest match

[chrispalen]

I heard George St. Pierre, GSP, is coming out of retirement to do an exhibition contest match.
An exhibition match does not have weight class restriction and one can take on any fighter in any weight class.
GSP is 4 time Feather Weight champ, very skillful with Jil Jit Shu. Wondering who will he be fighting this time.
I heard it might be Conor Macgregor who has gained some weight. He is a hard puncher. Look at how he bloodied
Nick Dias's eyes in 2 consecutive matches. I think he is weaking in defending leg kicks. Nick Dias knocked he down
on the ground with leg kicks. GSP is great with leg kicks and he is good with jumping around to avoid getting direct hits.

Anyone heard any news on this upcoming exhibition match. It will be an exciting match to watch. Don;t even know when
will it take place. UFC must be paying GSP big bucks to get him out of retirement.

Agreed - I think the fight is for a special in November or December - can't remember what the occasion is though. Either way - it will be nice to see him in the cage.

It's a grappling match. Not an MMA fight. No striking whatsoever.

Georges St. Pierre to Grapple Demian Maia at Dec. 14 Fight Pass Invitational 6 Event

One of the greatest fighters of all time is going to change disciplines to take on one of the best grapplers to ever compete in MMA.

This isn't confirmed yet but it's intriguing to say the least. Maia would be favoured here I would think.

I'd rather him grapple against khabib of course and my second choice would be Nick diaz.

Fans would go crazy for this....It's going to be at a fight pass invitational event so not at a UFC event. Probably at the Apex in Vegas...Wonder if Anderson Silva would be a possible opponent as well...Hmmm.
