Former UFC middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre wants to fight again, but he doesn’t have a lot of gas left in the tank. For the reason, he’s hoping his last forays into the Octagon will be truly special.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have much left,\u201d St-Pierre said on a Monday appearance on the JRE MMA Show (transcribed by MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cAnd for what I have left, I want to make the big fight, the fight that the fans want to see, want to enjoy. I want, personally for me, to achieve something that is unique, that is rare, that maybe has never been attempted before. That would be something that excites me. And I\u2019m not only driven by money. It\u2019s good to have money, we like money, it drives us all, including myself, but it\u2019s not the unique thing that drives me. There needs to be more than money. There needs to be some kind of achievement that comes with that would excite me.”<\/p>\n

Nate Diaz<\/a>, who St-Pierre was briefly expected to fight at UFC 227 this summer, apparently didn’t tick the boxes listed above.<\/p>\n

\u201cI considered [the fight with Diaz]\u201d St-Pierre said of this rumored matchup. \u201cAnd I analyzed it, and I talked with Firas [Zahabi], with my trainer and everybody. We were all on the same page on that, it\u2019s not worth it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNate Diaz is an incredible fighter, he’s very well-rounded,” the former champion continued. “However, if you put yourself in my shoes, there\u2019s nothing good that can come out of it except money, and money is not the only thing drives me. If I beat Nate Diaz decisively, most people will say, \u2018Ah, he took an easy fight,\u2019 or whatever. The critics will say, \u2018He\u2019s a bully. He fought a smaller guy.\u2019 Maybe he\u2019s not even smaller than me. A lot of 155er guys are bigger than me right now. He\u2019s a big guy. He\u2019s about the same size as me, but because I competed at 170 for most of my career, it will make me look bad. It will make me look like a bully, and this is if I win decisively.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I win and it\u2019s like a war, back and forth, people will say, \u2018Ah, you suck.\u2019 And if I get beat, oh my God, forget it. For my legacy, it\u2019s the end of the world. All of the work I put in is finished. And I could have a bad day.<\/p>\n

“Everything I do, I go further and further. That\u2019s why I didn\u2019t want to fight Nate Diaz, because if I fight Nate Diaz, it\u2019s been done before. It\u2019s not exciting for me. And I would be going into that fight satisfied, and if I do that, it\u2019s very dangerous. I want to do something like … 155, I never did it before, [getting that] title. Or beating a certain guy that he\u2019s on a freaking rise.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it comes to fighters on the “freaking rise,” none really hold a candle to UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, a seemingly unstoppable juggernaut<\/a> with a 26-0 record \u2014 who also happened to call Georges St-Pierre out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt could be Khabib,\u201d St-Pierre said of a potential matchup with Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is, with Khabib, he called me out,” St-Pierre added. “Physically, now is not a good time for me. I need to wait a little bit. However, I feel the 155 division now, it\u2019s Conor [McGregor], the champion, there\u2019s [Tony] Ferguson but I think Ferguson is out, and there\u2019s other guys too, but those are the two guys: Conor and Khabib. But Khabib now I think is the champion, but he needs to fight maybe Conor.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think the future holds for Georges St-Pierre?<\/p>\n
