GSP: 5 Reasons The Greatest UFC Welterweight Ever Should Stay Retired
In life, you should never go back.
Isaac Brekken/AP/Press Association ImagesAccording to Firhas Zahabi, Georges St. Pierre is looking at a UFC return - but should he? GSPs coach has said he expects GSP to return to fighting, but former champ and GSP victim Matt Hughes recently stated that he feels GSP should stay retired. For his part, Zahabi has stated that the Canadian welterweight legend is "more motivated than ever" and it looking to come back strong. He believes a recent ACL injury has added to that motivation. Now, a motivated GSP is a scary, scary thing. Ask Matt Sera. When Sera landed a surprise knockout blow on GSP and won the UFC belt, GSP refocused, and took the belt back with vicious knees to Sera in their rematch. Ask Josh Koscheck, who was beaten so badly in his second fight with GSP that he couldn't board a plane after the fight, and suffered a badly fractured orbital bone. Ask B.J. Penn, who, in their second fight, had his corner throw in the towel, and was taken to hospital after the fight, later admitting that he couldn't remember any of the third and fourth rounds. Ask Matt Hughes, one of only two men with a win over GSP - who would lose his next two fights to the Canadian. So when Hughes says he feels GSP should stay retired, he's a guy you need to hear out. Hughes, in making the retirement comments, said the UFC probably wouldn't be happy with him saying it, and he might be right about that - but he's also right about GSP needing to stay retired. Here are five reasons why.
