Georges St-Pierre shocked the masses when he decided to walk away from MMA in 2013, but he had his reasons. One of the most dominant champions in UFC history, St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) vacated his welterweight belt after he edged out Johny Hendricks for his ninth consecutive title defense at UFC 167. Although he was still in the prime of his career, St-Pierre explained how several underlying issues led to his decision. “I had a lot of issues with the UFC because of performance-enhancing drugs,” St-Pierre told Burt Watson in the latest “Legend 2 Legend” episode. “We were talking behind closed doors, and I know they know that a lot of their athletes were using performance-enhancing drugs. But I’m not stupid.
