MMA Odds and Ends for Thursday: Georges St-Pierre doesn’t think he’ll defend UFC middleweight title

Georges St-Pierre told TSN on Wednesday that he doesn’t believe his next fight will be at middleweight.

“We’ll talk about it, but I’m not sure if I compete I will go back at 185,” St-Pierre said. “I don’t think so. Of course, in terms of weight, if I want to go back to compete at 185, I will – obviously eating, like I did what I did, I learned from my mistakes, I don’t think it’s a good thing to do, force myself to eat to gain muscle mass,” St-Pierre said. “I’ve always been against performance-enhancing drugs, and I did it the natural way. There is no easy way. I did it the hard way and it was to gain weight and to maintain my muscles mass and it was very hard and it was not healthy. I think the body has a natural weight it can perform at its best athletic ability and for me, the weight that I am now is my perfect weight.”

St-Pierre (25-2) defeated Michael Bisping at UFC 217 via submission to capture the UFC middleweight title. Prior to that the Canadian standout left the sport after defeating Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013. Stay turned to MMAOddsbreaker for updates on this situation.
