Jorge Masvidal is ready to welcome Georges St-Pierre back to the Octagon in case he decides to unretire from mixed martial arts.
In a shocking announcement earlier last year, the former two-division champion made his official retirement from fighting, thanking his team, family, and friends that helped him throughout his whole journey.
Prior to his retirement, he last fought Michael Bisping at UFC 217 in 2017, where he would come out with the win to secure the middleweight championship.
He also made a last effort to book a ‘legacy’ fight against Khabib Nurmgaomedov to no avail as he could not come to terms with the UFC organizations.
“It takes three people to make a fight. The two fighters and the organization,” GSP said.
“It just didn’t happen. I wish Khabib the best of luck. I’m a big fan and I think he’s the best fighter right now.”
Going All Out
If and when he makes a return to professional fighting, Masvidal would be happy to share the cage with GSP and take the opportunity to destroy his face.
“Well, they’ve said this about me, that I resurrect fighters and then I retire them again. So, I wouldn’t mind if GSP jumped on that campaign,” Masvidal told Submission Radio.
“In all honestly, as a competitor, I want to f*cking break his face. I want to go out there and give him everything I got. But I respect the time what he’s done.”
“He took I don’t know how many years off, came back, beat Bisping for the legitimate middleweight title.”
“Dude’s a stud. He’s a f*cking animal, bro. I would put everything into my being, into my soul, to end this individual, because he’s that good.”
“This sh*t would require a nice training camp, isolation away from the world and just focus on the task, just day in and day out, cause he’s a hell of competitor, and I’m not taking a back seat to nobody in this division.”
“So, I would love it.”
Incomparable
‘Gamebred’ was all praises to the French-Canadian fighter and said the current welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, is no match to his elite MMA skills.
“You can’t compare Usman to GSP or nothing.”
“Even if he’d be a bad style for GSP or not—which I don’t think he is—you couldn’t compare them.”
“And then after GSP because of the sheer volume and stuff, I definitely throw my boy [Tyron] Woodley in there, Robbie Lawler as well.”
“I mean, welterweight has just had some psychopaths in that weight class that are just mean individuals, that are athletic as hell.”
“I mean, Robbie was just sheer violence when he had that title. Same thing with Woodley, man.”
“With Woodley, all it takes is one shot and the fight is over. And he can wrestle his ass off too.”
“So, there’s just some great studs, man. I think I got in the “who guy”—sh*t, I think I got the easy draw, man.”
“I used to f*ck with my boy T-Wood and Robbie man. I think my work’s cut for me obviously, I don’t take nobody lightly that has two hands.”
