UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has conceded that his days as a serious competitor are over. However, he is open to competing in charity grappling or boxing super bouts.

During a recent conversation with Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole, GSP spoke about how he intends to keep entertaining fight fans much past his retirement.

"My days as a serious competitor trying to prove that I'm the strongest man in the world are done. But I always leave the opportunity open for maybe a super fight grappling match or something like a boxing fight with bigger gloves. Something that the fan can enjoy and could be done for a good charity cause. You know I'm an entertainer... We make our living because of the fans that are watching us. So I work in the entertainment business and you know I'm not done yet. Maybe the future will tell," said St-Pierre.
