Share this: Georges St-Pierre reportedly will make his long-awaited return to the UFC. The former welterweight champion reportedly reached a new fight agreement with the UFC on Friday, UFC president Dana White told Lance Pugmire of The Los Angeles Times. “He’s back. I’m excited,” White told Pugmire. “We worked at it for a long time and finally got it done.” St-Pierre’s return will give the UFC a pay-per-view star to lessen the blow of losing lightweight champion Conor McGregor while he awaits the birth of his child. GSP has a record of 25-2 and will be riding a 12-fight winning streak when he reenters the octagon. St-Pierre’s last fight came against Johny Hendrix when he successfully defended his welterweight championship at UFC 167 in November 2013. He

Jim Harbaugh Tweets Epic Insult At ‘Pete’ Finebaum Over SEC, Alternative Facts
Share this: If you don’t follow Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh on Twitter, you need to up your internet game. Harbaugh is as unintentionally funny as they come on social media, especially when he’s drinking milk at a steakhouse. But his best work yet might have come Thursday when he trolled SEC media giant Paul Finebaum — or should we say, “Pete.” We’re not sure what, if anything, led to this hilarious President Donald Trump-esque tweet Thursday, but there is a pretty lengthy list of grievances Harbaugh could have against “The Paul Finebaum Show” host.
