Georges St-Pierre is 'not interested' in making a comeback as 'his best days are now behind him'

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre is ‘not interested’ in making a comeback in any sort of capacity as he believes ‘his best days are now behind him’.

That’s despite the best efforts of Karate Combat president Adam Kovacs who has tried to convince him otherwise.

St-Pierre, 40, recently signed on as a ‘Season Sensei’ for Karate Combat Season 4 which will see him share his knowledge and expertise with both viewers and fighters alike.

But don’t expect to see him compete in The Pit anytime soon or indeed anywhere else for that matter.

In an exclusive interview with GiveMeSport.com, the KC chief revealed that he has done everything in his power to try and get him to change his mind.

However, it seems those efforts have apparently been in vain, as he isn’t interested in lacing the small ounce gloves up again.

Kovacs said: “I am definitely not a guy who gives up easily.

“I have a few little tricks up my sleeve, I have my own powers of persuasion, and it just doesn’t work with him.

“This is not a secret, I’ve been sending him tapes of Lyoto Machida calling him out saying ‘I want to fight GSP’, and GSP just laughs it off.

“He says, ‘My friend, I’m not interested in any of this, this is too hard for me’.

“He thinks his best days are now behind him which is fair enough.

“I met him about a month or two ago in Miami, and we brought it back up again, but he couldn’t care less.

“So it is what it is, you know, you have to accept and respect his decision.

“He’s not the kind of guy who goes back on his word like Henry Cejudo or Conor McGregor who say they’re retired. Like f*** that, we all know that’s not true. If he says something like that he sticks by it so we respect that and we’re just glad to have him at Karate Combat anyways.”
