Prior to St-Pierre's announcement the French-Canadian star had been in talks with the UFC, but neither party could come to agreeable terms. St-Pierre stepped away from the promotion following his split-decision victory over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 back in 2013, and had largely remained off the radar until recently.
St-Pierre also told Helwani his existing contract was from 2011, long before the current deal with Reebok was put into place, and talks of a new deal fell apart when the UFC was sold back in July.
