Let me get this straight.
Dana White, much like many others completely saw this coming with Georges St. Pierre, right?
Everyone with a pair of eyes and half a brain cell could see that Georges fancied a free shot at a lower-level champion for his return fight. He knew that Michael likes to talk and can sell a fight with his mouth, more so than someone like Tyron Woodley. Georges also knew that Michael was the easier option comparing to Woodley, Lawler hence why he didn't come back at 170lbs, as well as Rockhold or Weidman, hence why he didn't come back sooner.
With all that said, Dana claims to have seen the whole "Georges not staying at Middleweight" coming. He saw it coming so far off that he even put verbiage in the contract around a guarantee that Georges needed to stay in the division and defend his title.
So wait a minute...
He didn't defend, he left the division and dropped the title immediately. He still got paid, probably still had PPV points for the event (which supposedly sold very well), and he has essentially rode into the sunset.
So what on earth was this verbiage in the contract, and what the hell was the point of it unless it stands for something and/or whether you can enforce something off the back of it being violated?
Dana White never fails to disappoint.
