'Wealthy' Georges St-Pierre laments fighters bound by UFC gag order: 'They need to keep their mouths shut'

One of the issues Georges St-Pierre doesn't have to worry about since stepping away from mixed martial arts (MMA) is the much-criticized deal between Reebok and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

That, and having to potentially fight opponents on performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), something "Rush" has long proclaimed was a problem within the sport. In fact, St-Pierre has been advocating for stricter drug testing, and declared during an open workout and recent media scrum that he repeatedly brought the matter to the attention of his former employer.

Something most fighters under contract with UFC are hesitant to do.
