GSP said he was under a 2011 contract with the UFC and was working on a new deal, but talks fell apart when the UFC was sold to WME-IMG in July.
"It was like a shock, because we felt like we were making progress, we were almost there," St-Pierre said.
St-Pierre, the former longtime UFC welterweight champion, said at the last minute the UFC offered him a fight with Robbie Lawler, but Lawler has said he is taking time off from MMA after a knockout loss in July. At that point, St-Pierre said, his lawyer told him his UFC contract was terminated.
GSP said he is free now to sign with any other MMA promotion.
A request for response from the UFC was not immediately returned Monday.

The game passed him TOIAP. GSP is done. He should had stayed back when we was dry-humping people to a decision and made a couple more millions. Now, no one cares about him. Matter of fact, good, go to Bellator. That's where all the has been's go to die.

I really see no options for him.
He's already fought Shields and Fitch. A fight with Askren would be cool but nobody cares and wouldn't do big numbers.
It's UFC or nothing for GSP.
***side note, when I typed in "Askren" on my phone, the auto correct changed it to "Asleep"

Absolutely nothing out of the ufc for the guy. Unless he is wanting to fight Askren. When was the last time Ben has even fought?

Makes me wonder why the negotiations with the new owners fell apart. They are not scared od throwing money around as we have seen with Conor and Diaz.
Maybe GSP wanted too much. Dude doesn't realize that he is not relevant anymore aside from people like Jasper and the Canadian nutthuggers.

Ahh "Nuthuggers". Felt good typing that for the first time in the new forum.
Nutthuggers are not as passionate as they once were. That's why we need people like Jasper to come back. Swing from them nuts with passion.

Sad day for Canada. At least they have Trudeau to keep them entertained.

I'm sorry but this is hilarious. It's ok Bobo, they aren't just pissing on Aldo. They are pissing on boring Canadians as well who can actually do well in the numbers game.

The UFC released a statement and said his contract is still valid. This is going to be fun.

I mean seriously, what the fuck does he do outside the ufc? His BFF Rory and him are not going to fight. Benson Henderson is too small for 170. I just don't see any money match ups at all.

Dude doesn't realize that he is not relevant anymore aside from people like Jasper and the Canadian nutthuggers. Like him or not, this is just not true. His come back fight would do huge numbers... maybe not Conor numbers at this point, but the PPV would sell more than any other current headliner not named Conor.

The UFC said they aren't sure what GSP is talking about, and that he is still indeed, under contract.

I disagree, I think Ronda's comeback fight will handily do better.

I think there's going to be a little less interest in her coming off a loss with such a long layoff.

She's got plenty of both.

I don't think there are a million Jaspers running around and they are all going to buy the ppv.

GSP would pull a million buys if he came back. I have no doubt about that.

Yup. Only if Conor is involved.
Even if its a super fight against anyone not named Conor, GSP won't pull 1M.
