In what may have been their first face to face meeting since his self-imposed hiatus in December, UFC President Dana White apparently met with former Champ Georges St-Pierre in Montreal on Tuesday.
Canadian journalist Steven Chmielash happened to pass by the three men meeting at a restaurant in the city, and relayed the information on Twitter.
Walking around St-Antoine and peer into a window of resto, see Dana White and George St-Pierre and the others grabbing a bite. #Montreal
Chmielash would later state that he saw two others with White and St-Pierre, though didn't know who they were. As for White, he was definitely in Montreal on Tuesday, tweeting that he was on the way to the city for a meeting.
We flew to Chicago for a dinner meeting jumped back on the plane to Montreal for a breakfast meeting… http://t.co/PSlvoc2Ecm
Penick's Analysis: The UFC is likely making their first push towards getting St-Pierre to return here, and it makes sense at this point to at the very least figure out where his head is at. They're paying lip service to GSP's drug testing concerns, and if it's in place by the time he's ready to fight again, he may come back. Who knows if he's actually interested in doing so or not at this point, but it's not yet out of the question.
