Tyron Woodley to Georges St-Pierre: Be honest, admit why you’re really coming back to UFC

Tyron Woodley doesn’t think the competitive itch made Georges St-Pierre want to return to the Octagon.

The current UFC welterweight champion, who recently successfully defended his belt against Demian Maia at UFC 214, believes St-Pierre has strictly made a comeback to MMA competition to bank on a big payday.

Both Woodley and St-Pierre were shortly linked to fight, as UFC president Dana White said the Canadian fighter would no longer be fighting for the middleweight title upon his return last week. Well, the possibility to fight the former welterweight king didn’t last long for Woodley since St-Pierre has been re-booked to fight 185-pound champion Michael Bisping at UFC 217 on Nov.
