This week, news surfaced that former welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre and the UFC had come to an agreement on a multi-fight contract<\/a> and were in the process of finalizing the new contract. Just days later, UFC President Dana White confirmed that St-Pierre and the UFC had reached an agreement<\/a>, and that St-Pierre would be returning to the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Initially, where was no word as to when GSP would be returning, or who he would fight, however in an interview with the LA Times<\/a>, UFC President Dana White said fight fans may not have to wait long to find out who Georges St-Pierre next fight could be against:<\/p>\n

\"Georges<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s back. I\u2019m excited,\u201d White said. \u201cWe worked at it for a long time and finally got it done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be the winner [of the March 4 welterweight title fight] between Tyron Woodley and Stephen \u2018Wonderboy\u2019 Thompson, or it could be [middleweight champion] Michael Bisping,\u201d White said. \u201cGeorges has also talked about fighting at 155 pounds [lightweight]. He says he can make the weight.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I have no idea when he\u2019s going to fight right now. We don\u2019t have anything booked and literally haven\u2019t talked to anybody about it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

White then revealed:<\/p>\n

\"Freddie<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo guys who care about Georges came to me and said, \u2018Do you want to a deal?\u2019 I said, \u2018Yeah, I want to a deal.\u2019 We got it done,\u201d <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As it turns out, the two men who approached White about getting the deal done were Freddie Roach and his CAA agent, Nick Khan. <\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, Georges St-Pierre will likely have his eyes on UFC 209’s Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson welterweight title fight, which could determine his first opponent upon returning to the Octagon.<\/p>\n
