More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
If you want to be a proud person, then you want to avenge your loss. For me it was [Josean] Serra and [Joe] Hughes, and for Michael Bisping, Henderson is one of his losses - one of his most painful losses. So I understand why he wants to avenge it. As an athlete I understand.
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
Everyone in life faces obstacles. That's what made me who I am. I don't regret to have been bullied because probably if I would not have faced those obstacles I would not have been the man that I am. It make my stronger in a way and it helped me to forge the person that I am right now.
Georges St-Pierre
I'm not impressed by your performance.
Georges St-Pierre
I’m a martial artist, and I don’t train because I have a fight I train because it’s my lifestyle, and I’ll train every day if I’m not hurt.
Georges St-Pierre
If I come back and I lose, at least I know I did everything I should have done, I have no regrets, I'll be happy. I can die happy.
Georges St-Pierre
Seeking knowledge is like opening doors. And I know the doors are everywhere.
Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
Georges St-Pierre
To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.
Georges St-Pierre
A guy that has more knowledge has the advantage.
Georges St-Pierre
When I go on vacation I just like to do nothing - just hang out at the beach, go eat the best restaurants, and do nothing.
Georges St-Pierre
I try to protect my loved ones, the people I share my life with, because they don't have a public life like me. I want to keep their lives private out of respect for them.
Georges St-Pierre
Kyokoshin I've done most, but I competed in Sports Karate also, that's my style that I come from, and mixed with the wrestling that's how I got the takedowns.
Georges St-Pierre
Once I got over my anger and rage from childhood, once I stopped feeling like a victim, I was able to open myself to great sources of learning.
Georges St-Pierre
I'm a shy guy... I don't enjoy being bothered but I never say no to a fan. I say yes to everybody... even though sometimes you have some days where you don't feel like it, but it's your duty as athlete to do it. 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
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
Georges St-Pierre
I think it makes your stronger to admit that you're scared, because you're not scared to say that you're scared.
Georges St-Pierre
Nick Diaz is a champion so he's got the spirit that comes with it. So he's not going to give up mentally. You see a lot of guys give up mentally and that's why they get knocked out or submitted. They give up mentally before they lose.
Georges St-Pierre
I don't want to be an exception, because I was very outspoken about Performance Enhancing Drugs. It would be bad for my reputation if I would have an exemption [for doping test] - I don't want to have a free pass, I want to be like everybody else.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
