Georges St-Pierre snubs UFC Edmonton to ponder if ‘a man who has sex with men is automatically gay’

MMA was the furthest thing from Georges St-Pierre’s mind on Saturday.

The UFC returned to Canada with a stacked show at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, last night.

However, the country’s greatest MMA legend completely ignored the event headlined by Mike Malott’s knockout win over Joaquin Buckley.

GSP left the sport on top after sustaining limited damage inside the Octagon.

Georges St-Pierre recently filmed a podcast with Dr. Laurie Betito, a PhD psychologist and sex therapist with more than 35 years in the field.

Since then, the former two-weight UFC champion has been sharing clips from their conversation on social media.

Just hours before UFC Edmonton began on Saturday night, ‘GSP’ posted a new video about male sexuality to X.

“Is a man who has sex with men automatically gay? Let me know what you think,” St-Pierre captioned the post.

In the video, Dr. Betito leaves the UFC Hall of Famer stunned by claiming that a man who has sex with another man is not necessarily gay.

“No, it doesn’t,” she said. “Do they identify as homosexual? Just because you’re having sex with a man doesn’t necessarily mean you’re homosexual.

“I know it’s hard to wrap your head around, but it’s also part of how a person identifies.

“Now, many people are going to argue this, obviously, because, well, you’re having d— in your a–, you know, you must be gay. That the minute you have an image of a penis in a butt, you think it equals gay.”
“Maybe it sounds gay. It might turn you off, but there are some men that enjoy and are okay with that.”

Over 1500 fans have taken to the comment section to react to St-Pierre’s surprising social media upload.

Some people joked about the topic, while others shared their serious thoughts on the matter.

“This automatically drops him 3-4 spots on the GOAT List,” one fan said. While another added: “Yes, I think, yes. GSP, why you asking me this, champ?”

“Yes, and there is nothing wrong with being gay, but yes,” a third person commented.

“No, Georges, bisexuals exist,” someone else tweeted.

“You can’t be this bored, man. Come on,” another X user wrote.

“GSP is getting to the bottom of questions that truly matter,” a sixth fan said.
