There have always been whispers that GSP could potentially return and he has spoken about a potential superfight with former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in the past. However, at this point, it appears that the 40-year-old GSP is content with staying retired and not competing in MMA.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/haymakerstv\/status\/1424733388259221509\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Haymakers&#8217; Robin Black<\/a> in a recent interview, GSP confirmed his days as a mixed martial artist for the UFC are over. According to St-Pierre, he is no longer interested in having to prove that he is the best fighter in the world. However, he is still interested in competing again and mentioned potential charity matches in either boxing or grappling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unless it is an exhibition match for charity, Georges St-Pierre tells <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/robinblackmma?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@robinblackmma<\/a> that his days of fighting professionally &quot;are over.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rDQP8d7U0o\">pic.twitter.com\/rDQP8d7U0o<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Haymakers \\: (@haymakerstv) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/haymakerstv\/status\/1424733388259221509?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 9, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m telling you, I&#8217;m not going to fight again to prove that I&#8217;m the strongest man in the world.
