"My injury is 100 percent now, I'm ready to go. I'm waiting to see what's going to happen next with the UFC.... I look forward to fighting again and I can't wait to see what's going to happen between Swick and Hardy.... It doesn't matter who I'm fighting, it's always dangerous. I learned my mistake when I fought Matt Serra, who was a big underdog. I'm the kind of person who never makes the same mistake twice.... [Dan Hardy is] a great fighter, he really deserves it. ... He's got very lethal, very powerful hands. He can knock you out with one punch. It's always a big danger when you fight a guy like him.... Mike Swick is very very fast, has probably the fastest hands in MMA. A very accurate puncher, he's very well-rounded so it's going to be a very interesting fight. They both have the tools to beat each other. I think the winner of this fight will be the guy who has the best strategy and who fights the smartest."
-- UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre informs the Canadian Press that he has completely recovered from a groin injury sustained during a five-round battle with Thiago Alves back at UFC 100 back in July. "Rush" refined his stand up skills while nursing his abductor ligament back to full strength. And now he's apparently back in the gym, training full strength in preparation for his next title defense in early 2010. It will likely come against the winner of the 170-pound showdown between Mike Swick and Dan Hardy at UFC 105 next weekend. Any preferences on St. Pierre's next opponent, Maniacs?

It’s people that think only doing leg kicks for 5 rounds can win the belt also that think GSP, Fitch, and other ‘wrestlers’ only lay on people… and it that wasn’t clear enough – shogun didn’t get robbed.

If by “Lay on” you mean completely dominate every aspect of the fight against, then yes, that is what he is wondering.

GSP has quickly become one of the most boring fighters in the UFC… ever since Serra, he is afrad to stand. His fight vs Fitch was fun but only because Fitch got his ass beat for 25 minutes. That guy had no right to be in the same cage as GSP, then or ever!

When you guys act like GSP is a lay n pray artist, you’re way off. Look at his opponents faces by the end of the fights. He continuously stays busy, advances position, etc. He completely dominates and destroys people from the top game.
by LJ on Nov 5, 2009 11:33 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Ceasar If you think GSP is a boring fighter, you clearly have no concept nor appreciation for fighters who put in endless hours to craft their techniques. GSP has crisp striking, vicious leg kicks, insane speed and movement/footwork, the best wrestling and takedowns in MMA, unmatched ground control, great BJJ, the ability to pass anyone’s guard with ease, endless cardio, tactically sound, and the list goes on and on… He is simple the most well rounded fighter in the world. He just doesn’t beat opponents, he completely dominates them, every time out. To say he is “a boring fighter” just shows a serious lack of respect for him as a fighter, and a complete lack of knowledge regarding MMA in general…

This is typical GSP class! Neither of these guys is worth a pimple on his butt, but still he has nothing but love and encouragement for both of them.
GEORGES ST PIERRE IS THE CLASSIEST CHAMP IN MMA!!!
He’s not a cry-baby mamas boy like Penn, a pampered premadonna like Anderson, a disrespectful meathead like Lesnar, or an absentee like all the SF guys. And if Georges had won a bogus decision like Machida just did, he’d have said so and personally put the belt around the other guy’s waist and refused to wear it again until the rematch.

Don’t be a smartass GSP hater…
You mean he is wondering who he will have the perfect timing agaisnt, who he will use some amazing takedown technique (that not a lot of fighter can do that easily as GSP), who he will wrestle and overpower on the ground while making some damage, who he will use an appropriate gameplan against, and the list goes on and on…
There is too many ignorant people that call themselves “fans”…

With out a doubt one of the most lethal ground artist in MMA today. laying on someone is one thing being able to keep someone down against their will takes talent and determination one of the most fatigueing elements in MMA is the struggle in the clinch and on the ground any knowledgable mma fan would realize why he always talked about as one of the best PfP fighters in the world today. MMA has many phases and GSP is good at all them but great at two phases as he has the best takedown in MMA today along with great ground control he might not go for the KO shots on the ground but he punishes his opponent just ask anyone that has fought him they are all hurting days after the fight.

People kept saying this person and that person ‘has GSP’s number’ and, of course, they don’t and they lose in one sided beatings.
Since Serra no one has even come close to beating GSP.
The only recourse these people have is to call him a lay and pray’er, which of course he’s not.
In his last fight, he couldn’t keep Alves down because Alves is so strong, so he had to fight on the feet with him, where he handily won every round.
He Straight ended BJ and Serra, and Fitch survived a beating, where he was Knocked down by strikes 3 separate times, and only because Fitch is rugged as hell, Fitch is very hard to stop, google “Jon Fitch Post fight GSP” , those aren’t ‘smother wounds’.
You can not like a fighter, but don’t let your bias make you make stupid shiz up.

actually even though alves problably outweighed him by 15 lbs at fight time, he was fighting with pulled groin half the fight so had trouble keeping him down, but even GSP at 50% toyed with alves throwing him around like a rag doll, taking him down 10 times, and schoolinjg him in the standup with his superior speed,fottwork, and athleticism when he felt like it.believe me it doesnt matter if any WW outweighs GSP, lhws like jardine have said he is stronger than most LHWS, and takes then down at will also, so what chance does a WW really have. He is used to training against HW olympic wrestlers, its no wonder he toys with NCAA wrestling champions like koscheck

GSP can beat standup fighters at their own game, or wrestlers at theirs. He really needs to vacate and move on to WW, its a joke if anyone thinkd hardy or swick will really challenge him

ya I was really wanting that fight too bad it had to fall through at least we got Rumble for the future if he gets past koscheck I say give him one more fight after that and well prob see him get a title shot, I would have rather he had more fights and improved but I dont really see anyone else at 170 giving him a challenge or even deserving a title shot and I doubt dana will give him fitch or alves again anytime soon
by Nor Cal Mexican on Nov 5, 2009 12:36 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The problem with that statment is that AJ has to fight at 170… he’s missed weight at 2 of his 10 fights so I don’t see dana wanting to market a catch weight title fight with GSP because AJ couldn’t drop his 50lbs in time.

“lay on” is what you call complete and and utter domination in wrestling, stand-up and g’n’p? Sluggers*ittyAssPrivate(although yes shogun got robbed) you have no idea what you are talking about. A battle with Swick would be dangerous potentially for GSP, although GSP woud win. Swick could challenge, though i doubt overcome GSP’s quickness and agility on his feet, and Swick is dangerous, as we know, when an opponent is on the ground. That would be an interesting, potentially well rounded match-up, though there’s other fights i’d rather see.
Hardy would just generally get owned by GSP, as long as he’s not overlooked, but obvious from this statement neither opponent will get overlooked. Hardy has not had enough top level competition to compete with GSP, he’s not complete enough and if GSP wants, can and will take Hardy to the ground at will.
WAR Hong Man Choi!

Hardy, for the slight chance the fight will happen in the UK. If GSP gets a payrise to make up for the PPV money lost and after the promised Andy-Bisping fight that never happened because of Bisping’s incompetence I don’t see why it can’t happen. We got Randy and we’ve had Hendo and Rampage, so we know that the UFC can put on big names and title fights for UK cards so if they’re going to make these cards anglocentric we deserve our top fighter getting his title fight over here. Come on GSP, don’t do a BJ-Diego and come on Hardy, don’t do a Bisping.

If we’re expected to pay PPV prices for tickets then we want quality fighters, especially if they are set to face British fighter. If the UFC are serious about British expansion then a GSP-Hardy title fight has to happen in the UK, they would sell out immediately in any of our arenas just because of that fight and for once they’d get mainstream coverage like our boxing posterboys Hatton, Khan, Froch and Haye. I bet they’d make more money from a GSP-Hardy main event in the UK than in the US and Canada have already gotten to see their hero fight for the title.

David w-s,
Look @ it from canada’s stand point, ya out of the 2x they’ve visited we got GSP once, but those 2x UFC came here were the fastest ticket sell out in mma history. That’s not a bs statistic either.
Also, aside from that, take for example if hardy was ww champ & best p4p right now, wouldn’t u be roid raging if UK didn’t get his title defenses? So how do u think we feel? Our population is 1/25th of the USA, & we have the best ww in mma holding the title. Don’t you think we wanna watch him defend in his native country?
Lastly, don’t you think he’s earned that? Why does the challenger get the home field advantage? Champion gets that. If hardy or bisping ever hold a belt ill support them defending on their own turf as well.
I am not attacking u David & I think u kno that. Ur one of the only guys I bother debating or agreeing with since ur knowledgeable. Just hoping to shed light on our (Canadas) side of it.

Generally most divisions have 2 other ‘top contenders’.
He’s beaten, Hughes, Fitch, Koscheck, Alves, Bj Penn, Sherk
People who most would elevate above the competition. The others from WW he would be a huge favourite against, he’s beaten all the people most nay-sayers would say would beat him. Even the people who don’t believe in GSP wouldn’t bet against him for Swick, Hardy or Paulo Thaigo.
So yes, he’s cleaned out the division.

Meanwhile, GSP should take on a bigger challenge by taking on the 185lb division’s gatekeeper, whoever that may be.

by theboydave on Nov 5, 2009 10:42 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Neither of them deserve it but who in the WW division does? GSP has cleaned it out and it’s still too early for a Fitch and Alves rematch but you have to keep giving him opponents, we love to see him fight. If GSP stopped fighting, then Thiago Alves and Jon Fitch would both be in consideration for top p4p fighter in the world. GSP just brings the bar to another level.
The one top ten man that he hasn’t beaten and that could legitimately be called a contender is Jake Shields. Dana needs to sort him out with a contract.
The UFC are marketing geniuses and whoever wins between Swick or Hardy will surely be built up as having a legitimate chance against GSP even if he will shut them down quite quickly.
There is no shame in dominating a division and not moving up a weight class. GSP said if he does ever move up, he’ll wanna do it properly i.e. take a year off, put the extra 20 lbs of muscle required and become a permanent middleweight. He’s only 28, let him enjoy his time as Welterweight king before forcing him to fight guys naturally bigger than him

Lay and prey. Ok lets take a look at what GSP has done in the UFC. He as 14 wins in the UFC and only 6 of those went to the judges. Yes Fitch, Alves and Karo were lucky enough to stay in there and get their asses kicked for 3-5 rounds. Lets not forget the TKOs since some of you musted has missed these fights. BJ Penn, Matt Serra, Matt Hughes, Sean Sherk and Jay Hieron (I love this one since most of the people on here worship anyone not in the UFC). Throw in some SUBs – Matt Hughes, Frank Trigg and Pete Spratt (ok most us could SUB Spratt but it still counts). If you want to get drunk and yell USA USA go watch the WWE.

I don’t think Hardy is in Swick’s league at this point. I’m surprised this fight even got put together, since Swick is on the doorstep of a title fight and Hardy has does nothing to give the impression he should be anywhere near GSP at this stage in his career.
Swick should be fighting someone in the top 5, not a borderline top 20 like Hardy. No offense to Dan, he has good hands and (very close) wins over Gono and Davis, but I think he will get taken apart within a round by Swick.
If he proves me wrong and beat Swick, he absolutely should not be in line for a fight with GSP. He needs at least one more big win. But that is academic, because it is Swick all day and night in this one.

Anthony Johnson talk:
I have high hopes but he is far far far from ready for GSP. Like so far its not even funny. I think he needs to work on absolutely nothing but his ground game from here til 106, cause kos in no way will try to stand with aj. & he will most likely 15 minute ud rumble. I seriously hope for a flash ko tho.
Also, rumble probs/hopefully won’t get that title fight for least 2 or 3 more fights, & if I were him I would wait a lil and see what spider’s deal is. If spider seriously does retire after 3, rumble should instant move up after 3 more wins at ww & be an instant contender to replace spider along with Nate. He’s already 220 when not fighting. That’s insane.
Mike swick & dan hardy:
To tell ya the truth I like both these guys. As much as GSP the god of mma? No. But I think their both talented & hungry. Again, can they even hold a candle in the cage with GSP? No chance. That’s that.
Matt serra accident:
That fluke is still referred to as the biggest upset in mma history. & there isn’t enough attention paid to re watching this fight & watching GSP’s planting foot each time he is rocked by serra. GSP wouldn’t have gotten hit like that either time if it weren’t for the fact he was going for a strike & slipped both times, he ate those the same way randy was caught by chuck when he slipped. It sucks but serra capitalized & it would never happen again.
All in all, GSP for champ as long as he wants. And I would never be upset if he never tried his hands @ mw. Stay as long as you want Georges! Ww loves you!
by Daniel worby on Nov 5, 2009 10:35 AM EST reply actions 0 recs
Good call. The hit that rocked GSP hit him behind the ear. Serra didn’t do it on purpose it was the way GSP dodged the punch. It happens more then you might think. If you watched the UFC top 100 on Spike then you noticed quite a few of theses famous bouts were won due to an illegal blow. Nature of the sport, nothing you can do about it.
