Georges St-Pierre’s time away from the cage hasn’t stopped him from enjoying life and plotting a return.

The last time fans saw former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre he was dominating Michael Bisping while earning the middleweight title. St-Pierre has recently had a health scare that has kept him away from the cage for almost a year. Although he has been inactive, that doesn’t mean that he has not been training or finding his thrills elsewhere. Would you believe that St-Pierre’s most recent passion is riding roadsters?

St-Pierre has recently partnered up with Can-Am, a company pushing the limits in innovation with their newest roadster vehicle called Ryker. St-Pierre was one of the first people to ride the Can-am Ryker.

“This company starts from the same area that I come from and it started with people from where I come from,” St-Pierre told FanSided. “They started small and then they explode on to the market and now you can see them pretty much everywhere. For me, it’s a little bit my story as well. I feel very happy and privileged and proud to be associated with a company like this.”

St-Pierre can be seen on his personal Instagram page promoting this new vehicle between posts of him in training. He hasn’t just been riding the roadsters and training though, he has also been working to manage his ulcerative colitis and hopes to be back in the cage soon.

“I am training every day and luckily I feel better at 37 than I did at 35, and I’m a lot smarter and wiser,” St-Pierre explained. “I made a mistake in my last fight because I was competing in a heavier weight class than I normally do. So I had this idea that since I am competing in a heavier weight class I needed to get heavier, which was a mistake. I tried to put on extra weight by eating, I was following a strict regime of diet, the first time in my life that I ever attempt this. For me it was a bad experience, I won my fight, everything was great, the result was ok, however, I compromised what is the most important thing for me which is my health. I never want to compromise my health ever again. However, now I feel a lot better, I feel great. I’ve done some intermittent fasting with some medication and with some anti-inflammatory to help with the symptoms of my ulcerative colitis.”

The future has been a hot topic for St-Pierre who has expressed interest in fighting the winner of the UFC 229 main event. When asked if a move to 155 pounds was in his future St-Pierre laughed a bit and went on to explain why he might consider certain interesting offers.

“I never said I was going to fight at 155, I said I could if I wanted to,” St-Pierre clarifies. “However I am not a big fan of these crazy weight cuts, I’ve never been. I’ve never been a big welterweight, people think I’m big, I’ve never been a big welterweight. I have a long reach but I’m not a big welterweight. I walk around 185, 184 pounds. What excites me, it would be like a challenge that is something that has never been done before. That is what excites me now, not to be champion or to have another run to a title and defend it more because I’ve done it before. It would be to fight someone who would be known as the greatest or something that if I attempt to do that people would say, ‘Oh you can’t do that, you would never succeed.’ That is something that excites me.”

Right now St-Pierre is focused on getting his health back on track and then the next fight will come later. He is working with companies that he enjoys and taking life as it comes. When the opportunity for a return comes along, he wants to make sure he is 100 percent focused.

“I have nothing signed right now, as soon as you sign a contract in this game, the psychological warfare starts,” St-Pierre said. “For me, that is how it is, that is when the fight starts when I sign the contract because you have the interviews and you see what the other guy is saying. The stress starts, and stress amplifies everything.”

At press time St-Pierre was not booked for a UFC fight.
