Breaking: Georges St-Pierre, UFC agree to terms for Octagon return

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will likely return to the promotion this year as the Montreal native, and the UFC appear to be putting the finishing touches on a new deal, one that would put “Rush” back inside the Octagon.

This news according to a report from MMA Fighting, which targets a late 2017 return for “Rush.” An potential opponent, as well as a prospective date and venue, have not been discussed at this time.

Remuors are soaring already of a GSP SILVA or GSP BISPING fight.

St-Pierre walked away from the fight game in late 2013, citing personal and professional reasons for his leave of absence. In addition to a drug epidemic — which appears to be corralled — the French-Canadian phenom was always at odds with promotion president Dana White.
