Georges St-Pierre believes that it is now time for the UFC to stamp their authority and call the shots.
Just like the current UFC champion heavyweight, 'Rush' is considered one of the greatest of all time with Jones with St-Pierre on his own MMA Mount Rushmore.
The former welterweight King is a big fan of 'Bones' and he is very enthusiastic about the prospect to see Jones confronted with Tom Aspinall with St-Pierre who breaks the matchup.
Like many fans, however, 'GSP' believes that the current heavyweight Titelsaga has negative effects on the division.
While Dana White has recently set a deadline for Jones vs Aspinall, St-Pierre believes that the UFC should make its final decision earlier than later.

Georges St-Pierre says that the pressure must be on the UFC to make a decision about Jon Jones
In a recent interview with the SchMO, Georges St-Pierre gave his opinion about the current heavyweight title silemma.
While 'GSP' Jon Jones vs Tom Aspinall places the list of fights that he wants to see, he also believes that the UFC should make a clear decision in which direction they are going.
Ariel Helwani was reported that the UFC originally met the demands of Jones, which he accepted before the champion returned to his word.
Dana White said the most important thing about Jones x Tom Aspinall in a very long time. The problem is that he didn't tell you the whole story.
He told you that Jon Jones initially accepted the fight, but he did not tell you that Jon Jones was returning to his word. Ultimately that part … pic.twitter.com/ukmntpvnae

Although Dana White stated that if they cannot do the fight, they will soon continue, St-Pierre believes that the time to call the shots has already arrived.
“If he holds it because it is negotiating tactics, it can be fertile for him, you know. But it is up to the UFC to see what they want to do. They have to make the decision because the young boys, young contenders, wait. If you are an athlete, you have a window. If you pass that window, not good.
“So I think it's now at the UFC to make the decision. Give Jon Jones what he wants or will continue … I think it's the UFC [that] Must do something. The pressure must now be on the UFC. “
Georges St-Pierre has left the title of the middleweight without defending it because he did not want to keep the division
In 2017, Georges St-Pierre returned from a four-year break to win the middleweight title on UFC 217.
It soon became clear that he would not be able to defend the belt for some time because of some health problems that had arisen by him that tried to increase a weight class.
St-Pierre told Bloody Elbow in an exclusive interview that his quick return “P- from everyone, especially Dana White”, but he felt that leaving the belt was the right thing to do at the time.
“You have to prepare before it happens and I went with a smile. I mean at the time when I retired, I had ulcerative colitis. I had bad symptoms and I didn't want to hold the belt because I think it is disrespectful for the other competitors, so I had to know what I wanted to do.
Since UFC 217 in 2017, St-Pierre has not participated in 2017, although he told Bloody Elbow that he would be open to compete in a wrestling competition for a good cause.
