Former UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre gave an interview yesterday with a the FAN 590, a Canadian sports radio station based out of Toronto. I figured some of you might be interested so here it is. Also on the show were David Loiseau and Riccardo Ammendolia.
In the interview, GSP acknowledges that he didn’t prepare properly for Matt Serra and only had two weeks of training. He acknowledges that he bought into the “hype” surrounding himself and says he took Serra lightly. GSP says his knee still wasn’t 100% for the Serra fight, and if the fight had been against Matt Hughes he wouldn’t have taken the fight.
St. Pierre also said that his next fight hasn’t been confirmed yet and no fight contract is signed. Josh Koscheck is widely speculated to be GSP’s next opponent based on previous statements from Stephan Patry (St. Pierre’s manager).

Hmmmm yup. Figured
This guy has NO heart.
I hope Hughes kills him (literally).
I love you MoreThanUFC, you are totally right with you assumption that St. Pierre has no heart. Because if GSP had heart, he could beat the likes of Miller, Trigg, Sherk, Penn, and Hughes in a row. You need heart to beat those 5 in a year and a half time span. Oh wait, GSP did do that…….
Matthew, do you live in NY?
whatever buddy … matt hughes isnt in the same league anymore… beat it
MoreThanUFC has no pulse…….enough said!
Man, MMA fans must be the toughest critics in the world…..
Rush, no heart?
Hughes not in same league?
These guys are both champions, with more talent and heart that 99% of the fighters in the world!
….anyone says otherwise is simply a…………………….dumbaz.
In true Canadian fashion … GSP is ALL class !
Unlike Hughes.
Can’t wait until he destroys him again !
not in the same league patrick what the FU*ck? gsp should just suck it up and not say a word DONT U HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE LOSE AND BLAME IT ON EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
who’s the moron guest host on this show - there is no one else associated with this radio station that know’s anything about mma? - no japanese fighters other than okami?!? (there have been too many to go over all of them - caol uno and yuki condo come to mind). “uhhh gsp lost his title to - was it rich franklin?” Maybe do a little research next time, dude. It certainly would not have been hard to find out who gsp lost to at ufc 69 for crying out loud. On a positive note, the guy who did the interviews was good.
GSP lost to rich franklin, wow
I hope Hughes kills him (literally).
Ya buddy, just like he did last time. What a JOKE!
Lets face it, the only reason there are GSP haters is because he totally destroyed their hero Matt Hughes. Get over it Hughes Nuthuggers!
no one is hating on gsp GORD he just needs to shut the fu*ck up train and live up to his potential
Sound off time boys:
First: Just because Matt Hughes is a hick doesn’t mean he is less than GSP, he kicked GSP’s azz the first fight, so shut up idiot, everyone has a bad night.
Second:GSP is a great fighter, he just didn’t do well, so what, he will come back and win, perhaps he was a little cocky, so what it happens, he’s young, to say he has no heart is overdoing it, he was dumb for not training harder is more accurate.
Last: If some of you are as fickle with other aspects of your life as you are with MMA fighters, seriously you need to get a grip, people make mistakes and win and lose, I would hate to be your wife and kids…. I am sure you are all perfect especially the ones of you who train like myself and think your mini-mma fighters, (yeah right, like any of you could hang with any of the guys in the octagon).
@GORD
Is that like for GORDO, or FATTY, are you like a FAT AZZ? Sorry had to ask, anyways, Gonzaga evidently doesn’t suck since his record was clean going into the fight and he killed Cro Cop. I must say, if Gonzaga was an Anglo American or European you would probably be on his nuts right now, idiot, but unfortunately for you Brazil puts out some of the best fighters in the world and I don’t see Gonzaga losing in the near future. THE FIGHT WAS NOT A FLUKE, THE GUY IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD, AND I KNOW YOU WANT TO SEE CRO COP BEAT GONZAGA BUT PEOPLE IN HELL WANT ICE WATER BUDDY, SOOOO TOOOO BAAAAD… LOL
DAMN KANSAS u let him have it i personnally dont like hughes but would never count him out people let there personally beliefs confuse reality and that goes from as serious to life and death to the not so serious of GONZAGA SUCKS ,bro honestly do u believe that get real if u hate gonzaga for personnally reasons say first then put he sucks dont be a HILLBILLY
KANSAS
please try to lay off the fat people some people say im fat 6′1 410 lbs what u say fat?BUT ON THE OTHER HAND JUST TODAY I KNOCKED A GUY OUT SO I STILL GOT IT
LOL
Damn Diik!
Who’d you knock out…..and why?
MMAK,
why even waste time on those punk az, nuthuggin’, whinny mama’s boys?
GSP IS THE MAN… FROM HERE ON OUT HE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE ….I BET HE DIDNT EVEN TRAIN FOR SERRA LOL …
He didn’t…….everybody knows it. He was just being “politically correct” when he gave Serra his prompts. He didn’t really believe Serra could beat him.
Richard, your not fat, your a big man, there is a difference.. lol.. you are a cool guy who is a regular here, and when you say crazy stuff, we know your a little lit up.. that’s fine, but Gordo was getting on my nerves… just needed to give him a little whoopin’ …. :) ….
WHATEVER GUYS WE ALL KNOW GORDO SUCKS….
GSP WILL TEAR UP KOZ
HEY DID JEFF MONSON FIGHT THIS WEEKEND?
Dam kansas! i know those guys are fools, thats why i didnt even bother talking to them.. but you gave gordo the buisness! hehe
hey icefan, i got a clip for you to check out, actually for everyone.. hehe check this out man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykVX9JBmcZY
@everyone…..
I was just tryin’ to get another post out there, trying to get over 600 is tough ;) …. kidding
SOMETIMES I GET THE FEELING THAT GSP IS FULL OF ****…. AND SOMETIMES HE JUST SAYS WHATS THE FANS WANNA HEAR
Thanks BV!
Pat you’re right.
MMAK, 600 is for grasshoppers.
good interview, gsp will come back better than ever, mark my words.
As big of a GSP fan that I am… I am really suprised why he would come out trying to justify himself like this. It is very “tim sylvia” of him to say this, but at the same time if its all true, then its just him stating what really happened.
But everyone knows that GSP is gonna come back crushing again.
YEA GSP IS LIKE EVERY OTHER FIGHTER THAT MAKES EXUCSES…. IM POSITIVE IN SAYING THAT GSP IS FULL OF ****
If you read back he blamed himself.Its his fault.Didnt belittls Serra in the least.Why make out he did?????????
well after a champion ship match is over the champion is not suppost top fight in a title match 4 atleast 4 months ive studied this but when gsp won he had to fight serra in a couple of month so he did not have time 2 heal but hey he agreed to fight so i give him crdit there goin into a fight when hes not 100% healed so he is a champ in my books
shut the hell up canadian mma fan
In case you guys missed it, GSP went on the Beatdown radio show, (sherdog.com) after this interview and apologized for ‘making excuses’ in this interview. He said that everywhere he went people were asking him why he lost and he finally had to give them an answer. Anyway, as far as the ‘Tim Silvia’ comparison, that’s ****** way off, Silvia fought ‘not to lose’, u know, not putting it on the line for the finish, just the win. That is the exact opposite of GSP, he always has exciting fights, he will be back. He is young and VERY professional. Is he the best? Time will tell, I think he is, but we will just have to wait. Kos is dead f’n meat tho, he won’t be able to fight GSP like he did Sanchez, that’s for sure. Now that i think about it, Kos’s fight with Sanchez was alot like Silvia/Monson, but that’s just me.
for sure gsp is an animal and can strike unlike diego
Didn’s Dirty Sanchez have gonorrhea or somethin for his fight with Kos? I thought he made some excuselike that afterwards.
@GTD
i’m not 100% sure but i dont think it was Sanchez who brought up the hepasiphalitis (i cant remember what it was) i think it was just the NSAC was saying he had a positive test for something and almost couldnt fight Koscheck.
