'Obsessive-compulsive' Georges St-Pierre explains UFC exit: 'More money, more problems'

It's no secret Georges St-Pierre walked away from the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) in the prime of his Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) career because of his battle with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

But, during a recent interview on "Undeniable with Joe Buck," the former Welterweight champion revealed that toward the tail end of his fighting career, he simply wasn't having any fun. What used to bring joy to his life, was now bringing him too much stress and unwanted criticism.

After it all piled up, "Rush" admits the pressure was too much, which ultimately led to his decision to vacate his title and his spot as the biggest star in MMA.
