Fear is the genesis of most of the good things that have occurred in my life. Fear is the beginning of every success I've lived.

People often say, 'Ah, ultimate fighting is so violent,' but it's rooted in martial arts. Martial arts incarnate respect. You can't walk into a dojo and say to your sensei, 'Hey, salut tabarnac!' After every one of my fights I go and shake the hand of my opponent. I don't need to hate the other fighter to fight him well. It's a sport.

My goal is to share all my learning, all of my knowledge, so that other generations of martial arts will benefit.

It's bizarre, a punch in the face hurts less when you win than when you lose.

Think about climbing a mountain. If you decide you're going up Everest, you don't start with a sprint. You'll never make it out of base camp if you do that. The secret is two fold: make sure your approach is consistent and steady so that you can maintain the progress you're making as your journey continues.

Before each one of my fights, I make a point of saluting my opponent. I salute the other fighter out of respect, even though he is trying to take something from me.

The goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly.

I will never take the fact that I am Welterweight Champion for granted. I learnt my mistake in the past. No matter how great, no matter how people tell me how great I am, I'm always one mistake away from losing everything.

A guy that has more knowledge has the advantage.

I'm not impressed by your performance.
Georges St-Pierre
Image
Sometimes I'm under the impression some of the fights happen that they shouldn't happen because a guy's cheating. Also, I think when something like this happen they should have not only a suspension but also monetary wise enforce a penalty. Maybe take the purse of the fighter to the other fighter.

I'm so busy during my everyday, when I go on vacation I need to pull the plug like they say, and to do nothing.

I don't want things that I regret in life, and things that I have not done - and I don't want to at 80 years wake up, and tell myself: 'Oh I was on top of my shape and skills and I didn't do it.'

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.
