UFC enthusiasts have long cherished the dream of seeing Georges St-Pierre step back into the Octagon for one final battle after his retirement in 2019. Recognized as one of the greatest combat sports athletes ever, St-Pierre, commonly referred to as ‘Rush,’ remains the ultimate figure in the welterweight division.

St-Pierre's illustrious career culminated in a remarkable victory over Michael Bisping in 2017, where he secured the middleweight championship by submitting Bisping in the third round. The news of his potential return has fueled excitement among fans eager to see him compete again, despite St-Pierre hinting at a return more towards jiu-jitsu competitions rather than MMA.

Recently, former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley dropped a bombshell by revealing that an impressive $7 million offer was made for a fight between himself and St-Pierre, courtesy of one of Woodley’s investors based in the Middle East. Woodley stated, “I’ve asked Georges to fight me several times. I had an opportunity to fight him last year and the year before. It was a five to seven million-dollar purse, and he said no.” This revelation adds another intriguing layer to the discussions surrounding St-Pierre’s potential return.

Woodley, who became the UFC welterweight champion in 2016, defended his title successfully four times before facing a four-fight losing streak that resulted in his departure from the promotion. Interestingly enough, this isn’t the only major fight conversation surrounding Woodley, as he also prepares for a potential clash of titans between boxing legend Mike Tyson and social media sensation Jake Paul.

In the lead-up to this highly-anticipated match, Woodley provided insights on the fighters, showcasing his experience from having fought Paul twice—once in a close split decision and again ending in a crushing knockout defeat. 'Who do I want to win? I want them to get paid and make money. I ain’t got no horse in the race. I love Mike. I’m just excited to see him back and it seems like he’s ready to get after it, he looks scary,' Woodley shared while engaging with fans.

The refusal of St-Pierre to engage in a $7 million bout raises questions about what the future holds for him. Will we ever see him return to the Octagon, or is he content to remain a legendary figure without adding to his storied legacy? As fans eagerly await updates, the combat sports world watches closely, hoping for more news that could reignite the excitement of St-Pierre's comeback.
