Citing the pressures of being champion and of being in a constant limelight, St-Pierre said his life has become "completely insane" and a "freaking zoo."
Admitting he was no longer up for the rigours of fighting in a cage, the UFC's pay-per-view king vacated his welterweight title and announced a hiatus from the sport.
St-Pierre (25-2) also cited personal issues, which he declined to detail. But clearly they have obscured his obsessive focus in a sport whose athletes spend months preparing for fights.
