Georges St- Pierre has likely competed in the UFC Octagon for last time.
At a recent Q&A session in Australia, host of UFC 193 on Nov. 15 at the Eithad Stadium in Melbourne, UFC president Dana White shed some light on the situation and broke a few hearts with his thoughts on the former welterweight champion.
"I don't think so, buddy. I'm sorry," White said, referring to the possibility of the Canadian's return. "GSP's rich, he's hanging out, he's living the good life."
St-Pierre (25-2) defended his welterweight title nine consecutive times before he vacated the belt - citing personal reasons - after a win over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013.
Going on nearly two years out of action, White says St-Pierre, 34, has accomplished more than enough in the UFC and the chances of a return become less likely with each passing day.
"In this sport you have to be hungry, you have to jump out of bed everyday and want it, you got to want to win. You've got to want to be a world champion. He's had it. He's accomplished all that stuff," White said.
"He's made a lot of money, he's accomplished a lot of things, and I don't see him ever coming back, no."
