Georges St-Pierre Quotes

The cut made me hate the process of getting ready for a fight. I was focused on how to make weight instead of how to beat my opponent.

I am always in the gym sparring. I look at every fight kind of like a sparring match.

There's many ups and downs in the fight game.

When I first got into the sport it was all about who could cut the most weight, who could be the biggest on fight night. That's the same era when you're sparring 10 five minute rounds, new partner every two and a half minutes, that era of just really hard weight cutting and really hard full contact training.

I trained karate in 2001 to fight Heath Herring.

Training for five-round fights is too much for the body.

Some days I have off like Thursday and Sunday but typically Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are dedicated to training if I'm in fight camp.

I fought a long time ago in Canada, I fought a Croatian guy, I don't remember his name, but there I had a size advantage. At the end, I explained to him about cutting weight. He didn't know about weight-cutting, so I explained to him, and I was bigger than him at that time.

In the future, I want to have super-fights.

Go back and watch my old footage, man. Go back and watch my old fights. I knocked people out at 170 pounds.

I train for whatever happens. I'm prepared for wherever the fight goes.

Lightweights are heavier and bigger than me. I walk around 166 pounds, and other lightweights come down from 198, so they are stronger than me.

A lot of fighters complain, 'Man he's five pounds heavier than me.' Really? It doesn't matter, man.

Fighting is different than other sports because you're not competing as regularly.

The lighter I am going into a fight, the more likely I am to get ill.

If I went up there and beat T.J. Dillashaw at 135 pounds, I have no interest whatsoever in staying at 135. People are like, 'Why not?' and I'm like, 'I have no interest in fighting guys who walk around at 160 pounds.'

Training for a fight is never easy, regardless of the opponent.

I've trained with Douglas Lima, he's a tough kid, but I could feel the weight difference.

I want to fight a UFC fighter.

I like to train and then step in the cage and do my job. This is the thing that I like to do.

To be just straight up honest, Conor McGregor is a guy that fought at 145 - ever in his life. I haven't weighed 145 since my sophomore year of high school.

People always want to see who's the best fighter in the world.

Whatever UFC wants to do or any opponent they want to give me, I'll be ready for that.

With my style, training is very rigorous. You're toe-to-toe, getting beat on six days a week for five or six weeks leading to a fight. There's no fun, no glamour.

I like Glover Teixeira; he's a former training partner.
