Georges St. Pierre: Thiago Alves is a (hiccup) class act and a real professional

"The [day after UFC 100] I went at a pool party at Rehab with all my friends who came to support me. I drank so much that I forgot my whole name. It was very cool because at one time, Thiago Alves showed up with his entourage and came in my booth (cabana) and drinking with me and congratulate me for the fight. I thought he was a class act and that prove that he was a real professional athlete and a real good person and a gentleman. John Fitch showed up as well, and we celebrate together our victories. Shonie Carter came a little bit later with a gold speedo and a hat and a cane dressed like a pimp with his cane. He make us laugh very much and as always me and Shonie had a great time because Shonie is a good old friend of mine. We had an amazing time at Rehab then I came back to my hotel…took a little nap of one hour and went back to a club at night called Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel. I drank so much that I couldn’t sleep at night. I took my plane the following Monday – when I got on the plane…I think I was still drunk. People who know me know that I can’t sleep on the plane, because I'm always afraid of flying, but the fact that I was drunk helped me out controlling my fear."
-- UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre shares his UFC 100 post-fight celebration via his official blog and proves that win, booze or draw, there's no reason why two fighters can't be friends afterward. Maybe Brock Lesnar should take a break from his daily regimen of big bucks, pick-up trucks and T-bone steaks to spend a day or two with "Rush" down at Rehab in Las Vegas. Then again, the thought of Shonie Carter and his bulging speedo makes me wonder if Lesnar doesn't have the right idea by bolting to the mountains of Minnesota.

Is it too soon to call GSP the greatest WW champ of all time?
Or is everyone still hung up on Matt Hughes.
by Big Zino on Jul 16, 2009 11:48 AM EDT reply actions
its just like with other sports, b/c they were so dominating in different times. clearly gsp is more well rounded than hughes but hughes. As far as champion? id probably say no b/c gsp has only defended the title three times while hughes did it eight times. but in regards to overall body of work, given that gsp had beaten a ton of guys when he wasnt champ id say he has a case for being the greatest WW or all time.

Big Zino, don’t let your boy crush guide your decision. For Hughes you could notice the loss in motivation towards the end of his title reign and he was approaching fights differently, focusing on striking rather than wrestling and that proved to be his downfall, especially in the fights against GSP. It will be interesting to see GSP’s motivation as he keeps defending the belt. In my opinion, GSP is great, very dominating, but still far from being the best WW ever.

Why do I think that FMX is the pimply kid who’s life consists of following the high school wrestling team around mopping up ball sweat day after day and telling everyone how cool they are.
If your done sniffing everyone’s Jock your comment wasn’t half bad.

GSP’s current six-fight winning streak is by far the best run in WW history considering the competition and the dominance.
Koscheck, Hughes, Serra, Fitch, Penn and Alves – not a round lost in those six fights. Hughes was a great WW champion, but he never dominated like GSP, never fought opponents consistently at the level of GSP’s, and lost badly to GSP in their defining fights. He was also pretty one-dimensional and barely won a lot of his title defences.
GSP completely dominates his opponents and can beat you anywhere and go at full speed forever. He is by far the best welterweight ever in the sport of mixed martial arts.
by Jeremyjackson on Jul 16, 2009 3:21 PM EDT up reply actions
Hughes will go down in history as a legend and pioneer of the sport and the best champion of his era. However GSP really is the 1st Champion to define MMA in the form it was intended to take. GSP n’ Alves probably took 6 girls up to their room high fiving eachother all the way.
by DAVE A on Jul 16, 2009 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Why do you think Hughes lost his motivation? He got destroyed by GSP and deep down he knew he would never be champ again as long as GSP was around.

After he dominates Kampmann (or Swick) that I think the chatter will get louder.

KEVIN bj WONT win a single round, lets make a simple bet, and see what kind of man you are, and if you really believe anything you post. If bj doesnt win a single round, never post on this site again. If BJ even wins a single round, i will disappear from this site forever. How about it, deal? you do think bj will win a single round dont you, if so take the bet.

I’ll do you one better, if BJ doesn’t win 1 round, I’ll never post again. When he does, you don’t have to leave, just change your name to “kevin is my god!”

Not true, at least in Canada. Each airline can stop a passenger from flying for whatever reason they want, including booze. I’ve seen (and smelled) lots of boozed up people on planes and have only seen one guy turned away at the gate; dude could barely talk.
by SilasM on Jul 16, 2009 1:25 PM EDT up reply actions
i’ve watched enough “airline”. yes they won’t let you on the plane if the gate attendant thinks that you are intoxicated. they’ll make you wait for the next flight. its for the safety of everyone because of the effects of high altitude on a drunk person.

It seriously happens almost everytime I drink, I think I might have stomach problems or something.

I guess Georges doesn’t party quite as hard as you. What a huge loser he is. I think his point is that he gets along with his opponents and that he thinks Alves and Fitch are good people. Still laughing a what a loser GSP is for not getting hammered 3 times a week. What a lamer.

Awesome story! This is what the sport should be about. It’s about being professional and respectful. Fighters like Fitch, GSP, and Alves are true professionals. They treat MMA like a professional sport. There doesn’t have to be any hatred to fight one another, its about the art. People who don’t really watch/participate MMA can’t understand how 2 guys can beat eachother up then hug afterwards. It’s because it’s not personal. That’s why I hope DW gets rid of Lesnar (dont see it happening tho). Lesnar feels the need to create a storyline, he needs to hate his opponent. The UFC 100 interview he did when he walked out and hit the door, causing the door to fall was soo scripted. Don’t insult my intelligence, I’m no WWE fan.

GSP has a great write up on his blog about the day. What I hate most about the Brock antics is that it really took away from what GSP did at UFC 100. To be able to finish a fight after a torn abductor is insane. I don’t see how anyone can say these guys are not “real” athletes. Tell me how many big time stars making millions a year in the NBA, NFL, MLB, etc. would continue to play after a pulled groin let alone a TORN groin! They fricken sprain a finger and they are crying like little bitches.
