George St-Pierre said that he will “go away for a little bit,” but did not rule out whether he would retire or not.
Following his victory at UFC 167, St-Pierre said he will “hang up his gloves” for a period and “take a break.”
When commentator Joe Rogan prodded him further, he did not elaborate.
St-Pierre, the UFC Welterweight champion, said he has a “lot of stuff” going on in his life.
He also said that during his fight with Johny Hendricks, he “lost” some of his memory of the fight. Hendricks hit him with several shots in the second round, leaving him wobbly on his feet.
He retained the Welterweight title, winning a razor-thin decision over Hendricks.
Over the past week, there have been reports suggesting that St-Pierre might retire or move to another weight class.
Hendricks seemed to have the upper hand over the Canadian champion for most of the five rounds, landing the more significant blows and limiting any damage inflicted.
St. Pierre was able to keep it close to extend his winning streak to 12 fights. Two judges scored it 48-47 for St. Pierre, and the third had it 48-47 for Hendricks.
In the co-main event, former lightweight contender Rashad Evans stopped Chael Sonnen in the first round. Robby Lawler, Tyron Woodley and Ali Bagauntinov also won fights on the card.
