UFCs Georges St. Pierre and the Fuzzy Brossard

Props: Complex.comÂÂ
Quoteworthy:
"A long time ago before my career went to another level and I got serious, I was a bouncer in a club. I was working at Fuzzy Brossard every Thursday night, hip-hop night, which is probably the worst night. They had a lot of problems with gangs and stuff like that, so I always doing it. I had a hard job. [Laughs].... I never had any problems, you know? To be a bouncer at this place, I was probably one of the smallest guys, so I had to use my brain. In the street you can be as strong as you want, but nobody's faster than a bullet. Being a bouncer, according to me, it's more being able to talk and being able to use words instead of your arms to do the job. One time I had a problem with somebody and I was like 'Hey come outside. I need to talk you. The music is too loud.' And once we were outside, 'Sorry my friend. You hit on every girl, you make trouble, you grab the girls' asses. Tonight you're finished. You can come back tomorrow, I don't mind. It's nothing personal, but tonight is over.' (imitating club-goer) 'Oh you have no right to kick me out you motherfucker!' and I just said, 'Bye-bye, have a good night.'"ÂÂ
Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre reflects on life as a bouncer in a Montreal club prior to becoming a successful mixed martial artist. "Rush" will attempt to bounce Matt Hughes at UFC 79: "Nemesis" on December 29 in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the interim 170-pound championship. Check out the full article when you can ... it's a good read.

He should try that on Hughes, see if he can trick Hughes into leaving the ring. That bumkin would get halfway to Nebraska before he realized he’d been conned.

Thats whats f***ed up about people. They may not look like a stereotypical “badass”, but they can kick your ass harder then that. Thats whats funny about fighting in a bar or in the street. Example:
Me and a buddy were driving to a party one saturday night. And this car full of gurls was waiving at us and smiling and the whole 9 yards. We were on a semi busy street (not a highway). And there was this other car with two other guys in it. So my friend the passenger was “muggin” the other car witht eh guys in it. You know the whole Im tougher and can have sex with more girls than you staring contest. Anyway, one of the guys did the nod thing like “what up bitch” and my friend was like “what”! Than they started calling eachother names and swearing and acting extemely childish. Kind of funny really. Than, at the next red light the kid stepped out of the car and was like 5’5 and MAYBE 130 lbs. Not kidding. My friend got all kinds of adreniline and confidence seeing this little punk. Got out, rushed him and the kid dropped him with two punches and one kick to the face. I was like wha…. So of course I got out picked my friend up put his bloddy ass back in my car (whom is 6’0" 185) and wen t to the party with a different story thatn what actually happened…lol.

George St. Pierre is Patrick Swayze in Road House
Rule # 1 " Be Niceeee"
Walk them out the door and be niceeee lol. What a great philosophy. I pray he takes that approach with my boy Matt Hughes !
George says he worked on hip hop night. I wish we had audio of him saying that. He makes it seem like doing a tour in Vietnam haha the mean streets of Montreal and the always rugged Fuzzy Brossard :-)

I have read recent interviews with GSP in which he responded to Matt Hughes saying that he took this fight because GSP wont be in in top condition. GSP was laughing and saying Matt Hughes is mistaken, he has been training for the Canadian wrestling Nationals or something of that nature and that he is in excellent condition already. He said Matt will be in serious trouble since he is counting on him to be under conditioned. He also guarenteed that his conditioning will be at an elite Level.
This is good news, I expect both fighters to be ready to fight at a high level, but GSP is just too well versed in everything. Matt Hughes wont be able to take him down at all. Not even once!!! The only way the fight goes to the ground is if GSP feels like taking Hughes down. With that said Hughes will be forced into a striking bout with GSP where he will be completely outclassed, ultimately leeding to GSP KO’ing Matt Hughes…
This may be my BIG Fight Personal Guarentee of the YEAR! Big Money on GSP!

The Fight Network reported UFC has offered Justin McCulley a fight with Cheick Kongo on 2/2 in Las Vegas on the Brock Lesnar show. McCulley is in Iraq with Tito Ortiz so isn’t expected to make a decision until he gets back next week.
I hope that this isnt True. Kongo has earned the right to face better competition than Justin McCully. Joe Silva does a great Job, but times like this I question what the hell is on his mind for putting together a match up like this. Joe Silva needs to get his ass to work and really spice up the Superbowl card because as of now, it sucks. To much weight is being placed on the Frank Kir/Lesnar fight. It should be the opening fight of the televised portion of the card, not the fight that will be used to market the event. So far this card is no where near of living up to the hype of fighting superbowl weeekend on the card that is supposed to be the best one of the year.
Get to work, this event Blows!

I love to see Serra as a bouncer. He’s 5’6". Everyone would just laugh at him. I know he would beat everybody at the bar in a fight if it came down to it but the biggest part about being a bouncer is that have to look big.

It could be just to get Kongo another win in the UFC and set him up for a title shot.

Joe Silva and Dana have went about this all wrong. They should have re signed Arlovski. Give Arlovski the title shot he deserves against Noguerra. Then have Tim Sylvia vs. Cheik Kongo to set up the number one contender match.
There are no epic marquee match ups that really excite me after UFC 79 with the exception of Anderson Silva vs. Hendo and maybe BJ Penn vs. Stevenson (although I think this fight will be rather one sided on BJ’s side).

The scariest bouncer I ever saw looked like a young Lurch from the Addams family. Real tall with a “I dig up dead bodies for fun” sort of expression on his face. He walked around like he was looking for a victim. Not a very sexy time to be had.

well, honestly, do you want to pick a fight with the smallest bouncer at the club? i mean, its not like the owners don’t know he’s small. he’s working there for a reason. its like dave chappelle said. if there’s a group of 10 black guys, and 1 white guy, do not fuck with the white guy.

Brains over muscle any day, I agree with gsp 100%. A lot of guys try to act hard and tough but I’ve always thought such guys were dumb, its always a mistake to underestimate your opponent. You just never know who your messing with, could be a psycho, someone packing a gun or whatever. I’m seen plenty in my day and can say with certainty it’s much better to be nice and let things go and not give the guy a reason to come after you. I know this is kind of wimpish to a lot of gangsta types but I like living and like peace and don’t want to be constantly looking over my shoulder.

Thing about big bouncers is that they try to avoid confrontation because the idea is that they’re intimidating and most people would not retaliate against them. Great article.

Gsp may have been the smallest bouncer but I bet he was by far the toughest, like someone mentioned earlier, small guys are there for a reason.

Oh man, I can just imagine some tough guys in the club talking to themselves, saying something like “Those bouncers over there look big and tough. But that one guy over there is pretty small. Why would they hire him? He looks like a wimp. I’d f*** him up really bad in a real fight.”
I hope for their own safety that nobody ever tried.

John, I couldn’t agree more. Matt won’t take GSP down. Kos got GSP down once because he is quick. Matt will lose because he is too slow to deal with GSP. The last fight GSP saw everything Matt through and Matt saw hardly anything GSP through.I seriously think Matt will look even worse this time, He is just TOO SLOW.

Exactly,Kongo beat CC ,why go backwards. Kongo should be facing a tougher challenge. This is why I respect GSP so much. He always wants to fight the best he can(he asked for Kos after his loss)not some can to get his confidence back. How does beating a can increase your confidence? This I will never understand.

Nope, the biggest part of a bouncer is to get rid of the trouble makers with your head, in a peacefull way( and of course be able to fire them out on their head if all else fails).

Well, you’d hope it would be as simple as that, but when alcohol, ego, and possibly controlled substances come into the picture, virtually anything can happen. If the bouncee in question is with a ‘ho, then there’s a fair chance he’s gonna want to show off his bullshit “alpha male” image for her benefit, and she’s not gonna want any static.
I’ve always tried to end a conflict as amicably and as pleasantly as possible, but you have to read your potential opponent as accurately as possible. Sometimes you have to tell them “Don’t do anything you’re not going to live long enough to regret.” I can easily picture GSP as a bouncer, but then again, I can picture most any MMA fighter bum rushing a drunken jackass out of a bar. It’s the wise fighter that knows how much force to use (cough- War Machine -cough). I’ve known a stuntman who fought with some of the best in Hong Kong action flicks, and at a movie premiere in NYC, he picked a fight with a cop.

Kongo is pretty good but he has barely any ground game. I think this is a good matchup for him its a good test to see how much he has improved. Honestly, I think Mculley is going to take him down get settled in his guard and throw little elbows, while Kongo just trys to hang on and get stood up. Overall a boring fight, but I hope Kongo proves me wrong.
