Georges St-Pierre believes fighters take trash talk too personally. Recently, we have seen fighters trash talk opposing fighters’ families, which is why Jorge Masvidal sucker-punched Colby Covington in the streets. Dustin Poirier also was not happy with Conor McGregor talking about his wife, however, for St-Pierre, he says fighters take it too personal as fighters need to know trash-talking is part of the game and they need to know it’s good for business and it’s not personal.

UFC star Khamzat Chimaev has given his thoughts on the debate surrounding who the welterweight GOAT is – Georges St-Pierre or Kamaru Usman. The welterweight division is absolutely stacked with talent and Khamzat Chimaev is one of the most notable names currently residing in the top 15. While he may only be sat at number 11, a rumoured bout against Gilbert Burns could help to vault him right into contention if he’s able to take his UFC record to 5-0.

Former UFC fighter Kevin Lee has given his thoughts on how Kamaru Usman could surpass Georges St-Pierre in the GOAT conversation. Across the history of the UFC, and mixed martial arts in general, two men stand head and shoulders above the rest in the “greatest welterweight of all time” debate: Kamaru Usman and Georges St-Pierre.

Firas Zahabi, the coach of UFC icon Georges St-Pierre, has voiced concern about his kids’ school curriculum in Montreal. “It’s become encouraged now to feminize men,” Zahabi said during an episode of The 3Muslims podcast (h/t r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture). “If they want to feminize their men, they can do it, but they aren’t going to feminize our men.”

UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman commented on a potential Georges St-Pierre fight, suggesting that “I know he doesn’t want it.” Usman is currently the best welterweight in the sport. He is the UFC champion with a perfect 15-0 record in the world’s leading MMA promotion, and he is the No. 1 ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the sport. At this point, most people consider Usman to be the second-greatest welterweight fighter in UFC history, right behind GSP. Of course, these two could potentially fight and settle the debate for good on who the better man truly is. But if you ask Usman, he doesn’t believe that GSP actually wants to step into the cage with him.

UFC legend and former welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre shared what his favorite UFC memory was during his career. St-Pierre is one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time and there are so many memorable moments during his incredible career. From beating Matt Hughes for the UFC welterweight title to losing it to Matt Serra to winning it again, defending it many times, and then returning as a middleweight late in his career, GSP has seen and done it all. But for “Rush,” there is one moment that stands out above the rest when it comes to his HOF career.

Current UFC champion Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight of all time, and not Georges St-Pierre, says Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz. Usman is set to take on Colby Covington next month at UFC 268 in a grudge match between the two rivals. If Usman wins, it would cap off a remarkable year where he has already finished Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal by knockout. With all of his impressive wins as of late, Usman has stormed to the top of the UFC’s P4P rankings. And in the eyes of his manager, he has also surpassed GSP as being the greatest welterweight of all time.

St-Pierre (26-2 MMA) and Diaz (26-9 MMA) collided for the UFC welterweight title back at UFC 158 in March of 2013.

Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre says that he should have retired following his win over Nick Diaz in 2013. St-Pierre fought Diaz at UFC 158 in March 2013 in his hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and he won a unanimous decision with a dominant showing that night at Bell Centre. St-Pierre then returned to the Octagon at UFC 167 later that year, where he won a controversial split decision over Johny Hendricks to defend his belt. However, soon after defeating Hendricks, GSP walked away from MMA, though he later returned in 2017 as a middleweight when he defeated Michael Bisping at UFC 217 to claim the 185lbs strap.

Anderson Silva wants to box Georges St-Pierre but doesn’t think Dana White will allow it. Since being released by the UFC, Silva has turned to boxing and beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in June. He will now face Tito Ortiz on Saturday on Triller Fight Club, but one name he wants to box Georges St-Pierre, yet he doubts that happens.

Harry Kettle - September 7, 2021

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has taken the time to praise the boxing skills of fellow GOAT contender Anderson Silva. Back in June, Anderson Silva surprised an awful lot of people by putting on a seriously impressive display in his win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. It was the kind of match-up that was booked to give Silva a “fighting chance”, but instead, he came out and looked incredibly against a man who had been doing this professionally for years.

When asked if McGregor should go after the fourth fight with Poirier if and when he returns to the Octagon next year, GSP suggested that it would be a bad idea and that Diaz is a better choice for him.

Georges St-Pierre was open to the idea of yet another comeback — just not in an MMA cage. Widely considered one of the greatest fighters of all time, if not the greatest, St-Pierre is now 40-years old and hasn’t fought since his middleweight title capturing against Michael Bisping at UFC 217 in 2017. However, when boxing legend Oscar De La Hoya announced his comeback, “GSP” was looked at as the first opponent before the eventual Vitor Belfort matchup was finalized.

UFC Hall of Famer Georges St-Pierre shared his prediction for the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley boxing match later this summer.

As for Woodley, he lost four straight fights in the UFC which led to his release, but he is the former UFC welterweight champion and a big name in the sport. It’s an intriguing matchup and you can count St-Pierre among those who will be watching it.
