“I understand that Dana didn’t want me to fight,” St-Pierre said when speaking to Cinema Blend. “However, it would have been fun. Because my career as a professional fighter, to become the best in the world in mixed martial arts, is done. I’m turning 40 years old tomorrow; I’m going to be 40 years old. It’s a young man’s game. However, to rather fight a boxing match under the rules that Triller put on against the legendary Oscar De La Hoya? For me, it would have been a dream come true, because he is my second favorite boxer of all time, behind ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard.

 

[Hagler]

Meh.

 

[SuwoopBangin]

I'm sure Oscar has enough left in him to take out a 40-year old rudimentary MMA striker. After a couple bumps, of course.

 

[borntoloseNOT]

Dana scurred

 

[Mr2urbo]

Dana is just bitter that thriller took off before zuffa boxing

 

[SakurabasEar]

Dana scurred

dana definitely wouldn't box him

 

[stuff jones]

Dana doesn't want his legends getting humiliated by boxers anymore.

 

[TimeisNOW]

dana would be a fool to let this fight happen and help triller grow. Given the two fighters he might as well just have the fight under the ufc banner.

 

[SteveColdStone]

Oh no. We missed out on an amazing fight.

 

[zapataxiv]

the one thing Oscar would be worried about is GSP is probably in a lot better shape than his comes out hard drinking cross dressing ass is also GSP is probably a lot bigger

 

[Cuttyrock]

DLH can wear high heels in the ring and still whip GSP in boxing

 

[NortheastPhilly]

Dana has these MMA fighters locked down completely under ufc control it's crazy.

This guy has been retired for like five years and dana won't let him do a circus fight for a payday

 

[Krimzon]

40 yr old, looking-to-fight-khabib last year ver of GSP KOs 175lb, coked out, hasnt competed in 10 years, 50yr old DLH

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

How does Dana prevent this fight from happening? GSP had a clause in his last contract saying he can't fight anywhere else but UFC even after retirement?

 

[Hung Like a Hamster]

Even if they did fought, it be like a sparring match LAME!

 

[Brandon Robinson]

I read this as Oscar vs dana lol

 

[Frode Falch]

GSP is Robocop with a double leg. I dont wanna see him box

 

[defjaam]

I didn't know that he's still under contract with the UFC.

 

[JDavis]

if your takeaway from over a decade of watching GSP is a burning desire to see him in a sideshow boxing match you might be an mma casual

I would guess he didnt fight all of his contracted fights in the UFC, so they still have him under contract
