At the ‘UFC Fight Night: Dublin’ Q&A event leading up to Saturday’s fight, Rory MacDonald was asked about the status of Georges St. Pierre’s return.<\/p>\n

MacDonald stated that GSP returning wouldn’t affect his run at welterweight because ‘Rush’ wasn’t planning on returning to fight for the title, but rather for super-fights. <\/a> <\/p>\n

The crowd immediately went wild as MacDonald realized he may have accidentally let too much info slip.<\/p>\n

He backtracked, saying ‘IF’ GSP returned that would likely be his plan.<\/p>\n

MacDonald divulged more info to MMAJunkie<\/a> about GSP’s potential return:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a champion for many, many years at the top of the sport. If he decides he\u2019s ready to come back, he\u2019s ready. I have all the confidence in the world in him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what we\u2019ve talked about, he\u2019s not coming back for the belt. He\u2019s coming back for the odd fight I think that interests him. \u2026 I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s coming back. But as far as I know, if he does, I think he\u2019s more interested in super fights and whatnot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly I never talk to him about it. Usually we just talk as friends and work and train, and I try to stay out of that. It\u2019s his decision. He\u2019s a smart guy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Given that GSP is training with Freddie Roach,<\/a> do you think he will be returning to the UFC?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
