Rory MacDonald Discusses Teammate Georges St. Pierre’s Legacy, Fighting Future

Georges St. Pierre’s long-time friend and Tristar Gym training partner Rory MacDonald doesn’t believe the former welterweight and middleweight champion is done with the sport.

The 36 year-old last fought inside the Octagon against Michael Bisping for the middleweight title back in November. “GSP” submitted the Brit in the third round via rear-naked choke to claim the belt. Then, on Dec. 7 (31 days after capturing the belt) St. Pierre relinquished the middleweight title due to a colitis diagnosis, a medical condition where the colon becomes inflamed, with the Canadian stating that he didn’t want to hold up the division in light of the diagnosis.
