GSP, White at odds over comeback

UFC president Dana White says the deal is done. Georges St-Pierre says nothing official yet.

GSP’s cage comeback continues to be a windy road, it seems.

Speculation has been mounting in recent days that the former UFC welterweight champion is about to end his hiatus from mixed martial arts and return to action. On Friday, White confirmed it to the Los Angeles Times.

“He’s back. I’m excited,” White told the newspaper. “We worked at it for a long time and finally got it done.”

But St-Pierre (25-2-0) was not willing to jump back on the bandwagon quite yet.

“Nothing official yet,” the Montreal fighter told The Canadian Press via text. “No opponent, no date.”

St-Pierre has cited ups and downs over the last six months in negotiations with the UFC, saying he has learned from the past “to not be too excited for nothing.”
