MONTREAL – There weren’t any tears for Georges St-Pierre, who dutifully handled all questions of his retirement after 15 years in the UFC at Thursday’s press conference — in both French and English — with something verging on relief. No more hypothetical fights. No more superfight speculation. No more “when,” “where” and “whom,” or Conor, Dana, Spider, Khabib. No more CTE talk for that matter, PEDs, UFC, UFOs. The terror of fight night is gone, and so are the doubts and the urge to flee.
St-Pierre, the fighter, entered the past tense — and you know what?
