"I see myself [in Mousasi]. But two weight classes above. He's a great fighter. He's very open-minded. He's amazing. He taught me two great techniques. Those two things I learned today are worth my whole trip. I'm very happy, and I'm going to be working on it a lot.... If I could have a choice between money, fame or wisdom and knowledge, I would take wisdom first, without hesitation. I'm already a better fighter than I was before the practice. I have more knowledge."
-- UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre talks about his fruitful training sessions with Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, Gegard Mousasi, while in South Florida this weekend. "Rush" reveals to SI.com that the "Dream Catcher" had two helpful techniques, which he will likely test out on Dan Hardy when the pair collides at UFC 111 on March 27. St. Pierre is already widely regarded among the top fighters in the sport ... how much better can the Canadian get?

lol...
I think he’s definitely one of the best, but I have to say I’m getting pretty bored/annoyed with hearing about how great he is or is becoming.
Seriously, no one cares if he learned two new techniques. Did he also get new shoes that make him run faster and jump higher?
P.F. Flyers by the way….

Yeah. Pretty sad.
In other news, GSP still only owns one sweater.

you never thought?
It gets pretty aggrivating after a while hearing the same stuff over and over and over, like just say how you feel for real for once. Knowledge is good, but he isn’t going to become better overnight, it would be like i knew everything about MMA and therefore was good at it.
fresh like uhh.
what do you want him to say? seriously.
does he have to hate Hardy and talk shit? Some people are doers.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
no, why do you have to comment on anything? he’s in lala land, no personality just go with the flow.
fresh like uhh.
huh?
the media asks him questions, so he answers them. you think he’s chasing the media to talk about what he learned today? no personality? cuz you know him, right?
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
I watch all kinds of sports and get to hear tons of athletes give a good interview, unfortunately GSP does not and you can’t hear too many of them.
fresh like uhh.
not a hater anywhere, it's just that many ppl here only like to hear good things about their star.
fresh like uhh.
????
What does this mean RoBerto? What are you trying to say? You like to hear bad things about people or the fighter you like?
No. it’s obvious that you and Two_Words don’t like to hear negative things about GSP, im not the only one around who feels GSP is repetitive even his fighting style gets systematic, put some ice on it my opinion isn’t gonna change.
Two_Words give me a break man, go do your meditation and yoga. what the fuck does GSP have to say that is important? It’s entertainment man i couldn’t care less about what he has to say i’ve heard it about a million times.
fresh like uhh.
no
the only obvious thing is that you care more about “personalities” and less about their actual fighting skills…go watch WWE…
ooh man, get your ugly pic out of my screen tough guy. I’ve never watched WWE one day in my life, that’s for american hard homo’s.
fresh like uhh.
going for homo jokes now…classy. For the record that pic is a joke and I am married with three kids…sorry to dissappoint you. All this coming from a guy who a.) likes the Oklahoma City Thunder b.) is an Anaheim Ducks fan c.) is a big tennis fan etc. etc. etc. Is it possible that you are confused???
ever heard of Kevin Durant? Ryan Getzlaf? Roger Federer?
Im not a fake fan who goes with whoever’s the best and who wins all the time, that would make me a casual fan and i’m not i watch sports all the time.
where do you live btw? US right? completely different sports culture.
fresh like uhh.
You could only wish to be a Boston sports fan…get a clue. And you are definitely not from this country thats for sure.
no i am not, better sports culture in europe.
hahaha, boston sports fan? no dude, love celtics though.
fresh like uhh.
good to hear, then you should know that we don't watch American Football, Baseball.
never said Roger was my favorite player, I watch the best perform regardless of course, like with GSP fights. Don’t like his interviews which isn’t too big of a deal to me but that was what i chose to comment on as some other guy already did before me.
have a good night now, you are disturbing me haha, trying to watch nhl hockey here.
fresh like uhh.
doesnt matter its all Ovi and the Caps plus Hawks this year.

bad stuff
How can they report anything other than good stuff about a guy who does no wrong? Sorry you don’t feel that learning about the sport and its dedicated fighters is news.
There’s an A Team thread just a couple higher if you’d like some more entertainment.

no prob
see, you like to listen to athletes who have nothing important to say…Rampage, Tito, Floyd Mayweather. They may be entertaining on a mic cuz they can talk a ton of shit. But they don’t talk about motivation, training, determination, mindset…u know, the boring shit.
hey, let’s all make fun of one of the best athlete in sports, cuz he’s got nothin good to say. there’s nothing we can learn from him.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
So if the media keeps coming at him and asking him questions he should?
Refuse interviews and be a total prick because he does shitty interviews? Then everyone will say he is an asshole and dislikes the media. How many athletes get flamed for not talking to the media and then the media does nothing but try to wreak havoc in their lives. He is not making any claims of touching and moving public speaking nor does he claim do be a motivational speaker, he is a fighter! Some people got it some people don’t.
Agreed, NNR. It just goes to show you how fickle and stupid most fans really are. Boring interviewer? YES. Great role model for MMA? YES. I will take that any day of the week and I am NOT Canadian.

this is what one of GSP's main training partners had to say about MOusasi:
“Gegard is very raw,” said Cleo Ncube, a top Canadian wrestler and one of St. Pierre’s closest training partners over the past two-and-a-half years. “He doesn’t have a real specific training regimen. He just messes around, which is such an incredible story. Today we included him in our technique session and we were working through our regular scheduled techniques. I didn’t know if he was going to pick it up, and fair enough Gegard was picking it up.”
“_Having trained in the past with Russian heavyweight king Fedor Emelianenko, Mousasi is quite familiar with greatness. Asked to compare Emelianenko and St. Pierre, who rank among the best mixed martial artists on the planet, Mousasi suggested the UFC champion is “more athletic and technical,” while Fedor, handled by M-1, has the ability to seamlessly transfer between MMA’s different disciplines."_
’-Josh Gross
Why u being a hater?
why does the fact that he’s a great fighter bore/annoy you? It’s not like he’s arrogant about it. Just appreciate the skill he has.
you should listen more to fighters like him, and less to shit-talkers who start up drama for ratings. GSP speaks honestly, and many dumbass fans give him flak for being “boring” in interviews, or make fun of his accent. Why not try to listen to how he respects the sport and is really improving, instead of some bullshit drama to sell tickets.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
Agree here...
I don’t think that he goes looking for interviews, he isn’t super exciting because his english isn’t great. He’s also a respectful guy that’s genuinely a nice guy and respects the sport. He’ll never be scandalous after the Hughes thing.
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
omfg that is funny
I like GSP and Mousasi though. You haters need to quit being such whiny bitches.
yep i found the news very interesting
I enjoyed reading this and learning more about my fighters other than what jail term their getting or what movie their in etc.
I was very excited when I first got word the GSP was training with Gegard and even more excited to see him at the SF card.
“Can the Canadian athlete possibly get better?”
Wow, that’s a scary thought that he can.

for the record
I am not a GSP hater. Not my favorite, but I don’t any major issue with him nor do I care that BJ thinks he greased. I just think this gif is funny
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
i believe the correct quote would be
“ya neba gon cah me”
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
Classic
He should be able to kill hardy in the first if he’s so amazing. But I think it’ll go atleast three. Either way I am not eempressed buy yo-were preeformance.. Lol

its his english.
he cant speak it that well. would u rathar have a translator follow him around and repeat everything he says?
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
no he isnt
I truly don’t find this guy boring in the slightest. His genuine smile, and good heart go a long way with me. He means what he says and he is very well spoken for what English he knows. He is the true definition of a role model.
In all aspects of life! There isn’t one area of this mans life that I know of that anyone shouldn’t strive for.

I guess there is a problem with being humble and always learning to expand on your game. Guess jackasses like Rampage and the Diaz twins have a much better fan base….and notice that I didn’t include because I think that BJ has made a turn for the better (for the moment).
by hairybumcrack on Feb 2, 2010 5:05 PM EST up reply actions
I agree
He picked up some new skillls and will now work them into his own game. GSP is the man. Hardy is going to get killed in the first round. Its a dumb fight and I hate Hardy..
GSP will win a decision.
Hardy’s tough to finish, and GSP hasn’t been finishing dudes a whole lot… not since Hughes 3.. dont tell me BJ Penn, because BJ quit on the stool.. yeah, a TKO, but not an indirect TKO… its not like the ref pulled him off him..
"You can deal with UFC, I know that they have flexible contract system. All these talks about "strict" contract terms with signing with UFC, come ONLY from Vadim Finkelstein, who wants to push his owns business projects through Fedor's fights" -- Aleksander Emelianenko
it's even worse...Penn gave up
A tko can be contested, and usually is. but penn gave up. that’s more complete.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
you doubt what?
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."
Tito interviewing Fedor: "Let me tell you how you feeling right now?"
?
Hardy is much bigger, but has nowhere near the skill set BJ does…..you argument sucks, just like your hatred towards GSP….
haha, hilarious jake. I don’t think he’ll manhandle Hardy and finish him, it’s as simple as that and don’t try to argue it come back after the fight instead.
fresh like uhh.
I will
Your posts just annoy me in this thread, but everyone has the right to their opinion….Comments like GSP shouldn’t comment if he doesn’t have anything interesting to say and that he is in la la land are idiotic. I agree he isn’t the best interview, and that he says a lot of the same things, but he constantly has a mic in his face and he has a lot of respect for opponents and MMA in generally. He isn’t wildly popular for his quick sense of humor or giving great interviews, but rather because he is one of the best fighters to ever live…enjoy it.
And GSP WILL manhandle Hardy IMO…
I said to two_words that why do you have to comment on anything? after he tried to put himself above ppl because he loves GSP.
and no GSP is all positive and la la land in his interviews nothing wrong with that, but it gets a little boring to me.
fresh like uhh.
Fool..
Penn’s corner stopped the fight. Penn didn’t quit. Besides what good was it for BJ to go out there one more round and have GSP lay on top of him for another 5 mintues. That’s all GSP does is lays his way to victories.
Greasy St.Pierre is a cheater.
Penn quit.
He told his corner he couldn’t take anymore. His corner asked him if he wanted to continue and he hung his head and didn’t respond. He in no way ever suggested during or after the stoppage that he would have continued.
Pull your head out of your ass and stop trolling. Or if you are going to troll, show an ounce of skill.
You’re pathetic.

Fedor once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit.
On July 19th, 1999, a naked Fedor re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.
Penn not a quitter!? WTF!!?
I am very sorry but that sets me off. Not matter how many times you will repeat this lie, you won’t rewrite History.
Corner: “BJ do you want to continue?”
BJ: (no answer)
Corner: “BJ, do you want this?”
BJ: (no answer)
One three letter monosyllabic word would have sufficed: Yes. He chose otherwise.
He quit, admit it!
He quit, damn it!
He quit, deal with it.
He quit, not just a little bit.
He quit, like shit.
He quit, don’t you forget it.
He quit, he quit.
Because?
He’s a quitter

Penn quit hands down
Anyone who objects the towel or had no intention on quitting would’ve thrown a fit after being told their done. Especially Penn! Ask yourself the same question, if your fighting and you got a shot at the champ and your buddy throws the towel in when you truly think you can still win and you still want to compete, would you simply keep your head hung and call it a night?

Confucius says:
"Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk."

Im so glad GSP represents Canada.
And in 2011, pigs will fly out Anderson Cooper’s ass on live television.
And in 2012, the apocalypse will envelop the Earth.
And in 2013, you will finally, after seven attempts, graduate junior high.
And in 2014, you will be found dead behind AM/PM with a bag of model glue wrapped over your head.
And in 2015, your parents will discover, to their horror, that their deceased son was actively pursuing a career as a homosexual prostitute before his untimely demise.
So it shall be written.

I'm sorry..
I actually took the time to read that response. As a matter of fact I feel sorry that you actually took the time to write that.
Greasy St.Pierre is a cheater.
Actually, I can see 2010 having new LW, WW, MW and LHW champs.
BJ, GSP and Anderson could all probably move up within the year, or next. And Lyoto could still lose.
You have to be the man... you have to be very, like, alpha male with her. You know? Decide what you do and everything. So, show her who's the boss, you know? - GSP
no no xxboxx is right
Because Penn Wull be WW champ, GSP will be MW champ, and Andy will be LHW champ in a year or so due to them all moving up.
So technically all new champs to the divisions, although they’re the same ppl.

why is it that when people bash on GSP, it automatically labels that person a hater of canada? i love rachel mcadams…she’s canadian. and NO, gsp is NOT the greatest athlete. he learned two new moves; big fuckn deal!!! so that means his pussy pattern is NOW gonna be: leg kick, punch, punch, dbl leg takedown, pelvic thrust, look up at the clock, repeat for 4 more rounds.
Um, who called anybody a hater of Canada in this thread?

Roooobertooooo' mmmyyy Man!
That’s why GSP picks 2 Pieces of Quality Information! He’s an expert because he cherry picks information he can use into his arsenal that he didn’t know before…. Jezz… Roberto we know U like MMA more as entertainment not as a sport…. we like WHY he progresses not just how exciting GSP’s Interview is…..
If his pattern is so repetitive, why hasn't anyone stopped him?
go back to WWE Banana!

go back to first grade you retard, and pls watch real sports if you would like to have an ounce of the sports knowledge i have and stop acting cool over being a pro UFC fan Two_Words.
THORAZINE – no that’s not it, all sports are entertainment but the way the UFC goes about their business is different and the way we’re commenting on a news site makes me go in different directions then i normally would, i don’t have nothing against GSP infact the only thing i really care about is the fighting.
fresh like uhh.
Just cause you have been posting here for over two years doesn’t mean you add anything to any of these posts…see above…your a hater and nobody likes you….
nobody likes me? dude, i have been talking to these ppl and they know who i am and i know them. those ppl who called me a hater obviously haven’t been here for long enough to know what im about, you have to understand that things get crazy around here when someone says anything negative about their fav fighter.
fresh like uhh.
no one...it was a question based on other gsp nut hugging threads....
but im calling you a fag right now. FAGGOT.
Nice.
So you’re just a delusional pinhead, making vehement objections to imagined statements.

Man I was thinking the same thing...
The purpose of this website is to give opinions, get news, and give your breakdown on fights and mma news…Yet if certain people don’t have their viewpoint agreeded with they resort to middle school banter and rhetoric; “Your a Faggot” “You Suck” “Go Fuck Your MOMMA with a Porcupine”(well I have never heard that one hear yet). It gets frustrating when a good thread ends up hostage to keyboard tough guys and the mentally impaired!
Awesome news!!
Love me some gsp.
Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.
