Georges St-Pierre reveals UFC contract has expired, he is officially a free agent

The legendary Georges St-Pierre is no longer under contract with the UFC.

The former two-division UFC champion revealed on Friday that his contract with the Las-Vegas based promotion has hit its expiration, thus coming to the end. St-Pierre spoke to reporters at the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva ceremonial weigh-ins about the latest development in his career.

“I don’t know the exact date, but I’m glad I’m free,” St-Pierre said. “I can do whatever I want. But my days of trying to prove I’m the strongest guy in the world are gone, you know what I mean?

“My heart is not there anymore to do this. I just enjoy being here as a promoter. I’m healthy, which is the most important, wealthy and I don’t need to do it, I do it because I love it.”

St-Pierre hasn’t competed since 2017, when he defeated Michael Bisping to win the UFC middleweight title. St-Pierre says he has no interest in fighting at the top level, but won’t close the door on lesser-level competition.

“I could do something, but it needs to be something well organized, and maybe something where the risks of injury are to the minimum, not something that’s too crazy because my days of competing are over,” St-Pierre said. “If I do it, I will do it well and train my ass off. You never say never, but it needs to be in the right timing. We’ll see.”
