I had two ACL injuries in my life, and both of them happened when I was training with bigger guys a heavyweight and a light heavyweight. Sometimes it's not even because the guy is good, you just get hurt.

More quotes by Georges St-Pierre
Nothing really frustrates me to the point of hatred. It's not the worth the energy.
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
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.

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
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
I think it makes your stronger to admit that you're scared, because you're not scared to say that you're scared.

What happens when you accept and embrace your fear? Fear becomes your weapon.
Georges St-Pierre
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.'
Georges St-Pierre
It's easy to talk, it's harder to fight.
Georges St-Pierre
Don't be afraid to spend money to make money. That's one thing I've never been afraid of... to invest in myself.
Georges St-Pierre
Humility is the first rule of martial arts. Either you learn humility quickly, or you leave because your ego can't handle losing repeatedly.
Georges St-Pierre
One of the important lessons I learned from my parents is always to respect authority figures like teachers.
Georges St-Pierre
It's not always the best team that wins the game it's the team that plays better.
Georges St-Pierre
Thanks to his willingness to face me, my life takes shape, my path evolves.
Georges St-Pierre
Respect your opponent, just make them respect you more.
Georges St-Pierre
Always pursue your dreams and work hard at it.
Georges St-Pierre
Innovation, born from true creativity, depends on movement.
Georges St-Pierre
Power is different when you combined it with wisdom. Wisdom allows you to use less power to accomplish more tasks.
Georges St-Pierre
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.
Georges St-Pierre
Training to become champion is the toughest thing. The fight itself is just a test.
Georges St-Pierre
