St-Pierre's last fight took place at UFC 217 in November 2017, which marked his comeback after a four-year hiatus. He faced Michael Bisping for the middleweight title and secured a win via third-round submission. However, shortly after, 'Rush' vacated the belt due to being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis.
Throughout his 15-year professional career, the 42-year-old Canadian amassed a record of 26-2. St-Pierre achieved notable victories against MMA icons such as BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, and Nick Diaz.
After failing to reach an agreement for a comeback with the UFC, St-Pierre announced his official retirement in February 2019.
What did Georges St-Pierre previously say about his participation on UFC 300 card?
During a seminar held at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA (via Bloody Elbow) in Thailand last month, Georges St-Pierre confessed that he still longs for the exhilaration he experienced after winning each of his championship fights:
"I miss sometimes, the adrenaline, the victory. When you win a fight, there’s nothing that can come close to that, and unfortunately, I will probably never have that feeling. I will never again have that feeling of winning another championship, and I miss that feeling. But that’s reality, and I’m good with it."
Additionally, 'Rush' quickly rejected speculations about making a comeback for UFC 300:
"It’s a rumor. I’ve never been offered for a fight (at UFC 300). I’ve made that clear (to them) that I have no desire of coming back to fight in mixed martial arts."
