Georges St-Pierre is a free agent; UFC contract terminated

The UFC and former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre announced on The MMA Hour that he is currently a free agent.

St-Pierre has been embroiled in a struggle with the UFC since electing to return to competition and entering the USADA testing pool, with an eye on fighting at UFC 206 in Toronto.

St-Pierre's title defense against Jake Shields at UFC 129 in the Rogers Centre in Toronto shattered attendance records at the time, with an estimated 55,724 Canadians on hand to see their countryman fight. It seemed like a no-brainer for St-Pierre to return at the 206 card in Toronto.
