More quotes by Georges St-Pierre

Because the fans that pay it's going to make you live, so you have to do it. So I force myself to do it all the time.
Georges St-Pierre
Because Conor McGregor is so confident - he goes there 'I'll beat this, I will do that' - If I would be his coach I will tell him all the time, behind closed doors, how dangerous [Nate] Diaz is and how much of a war this fight will be and how painful, and long, and uncomfortable it would be, and to get prepared for the worst day of his life.
Georges St-Pierre
It's bizarre, a punch in the face hurts less when you win than when you lose.
Georges St-Pierre

Georges St-Pierre

Georges St-Pierre
I'm the kind of guy who only makes a mistake once, never twice.
Georges St-Pierre

I am a public person and I have my private life. It's important for me that my private life stay private, that what I share with the people is my public personality.
