UFC President Dana White said Thursday that Georges St-Pierre could have any fight he wants if he decides to return to the Octagon.
The offer provides a range of opportunities for the former welterweight champion, such as a shot at the title, according to UFC.com.
"It would be tough to deny that GSP comes right back and doesn't fight for the title, you know what I mean?" White said in an interview. "GSP can do whatever he wants. If he wants to come back and fight for the title, or if he wants a fight before that- he can do whatever he wants."
Firas Zahabi, St-Pierre's coach, said earlier this week that he believes St-Pierre still has an interest in fighting, MMA Fighting reported.
"My personal opinion is he still has plenty of competitive juice in him," Zahabi said. "I don't think he's be anywhere near fight shape until he's late-34 -- mid-34. I think he's got a few fights in him but I don't want to speak for the guy. He might retire and no one could blame him."
St-Pierre's second welterweight title reign lasted five and a half years until he decided to vacate the championship after his victory over Johny Hendricks via decision at UFC 167, MMA Fighting reported. The result of the fight has been viewed by many as very controversial.
Zahabi estimates St-Pierre would possibly return sometime in 2015, UFC.com reported.
St-Pierre is currently going through rehab for a torn ACL and plans to begin light MMA training as early as October.
"It's always a huge debate on a guy who's had a career like GSP to go out on top and walk away with the belt," White said. "That's a personal decision that a fighter has to make. Being the competitor that GSP is, I can't see GSP [walking away yet]. But that's up to him.
"Guys that I try to talk out of fighting anymore, like Chuck Liddell who had a string of knockouts - I just didn't want to see it anymore."
