GSP: FROM ULTIMATE CHAMPION TO ULTIMATE COACH

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010
 Every season of “The Ultimate Fighter" has brought a different style of coach, and some of the best fighters in the world have taken a turn at the head of a team on the powerhouse reality show. For the first time ever, UFC welterweight champion and arguably pound-for-pound top fighter in the world Georges St-Pierre will take his turn as coach on the next season of the reality show, which starts filming in June. The Canadian fighter leaves for Las Vegas in a few weeks, and has already started assembling his team of coaches and assistants that will help him along the way with the new season of hopefuls.

Nick Diaz speaks Out Re: Recent Strikeforce Brawl, wants Georges St. Pierre

Friday, April 23rd, 2010
 Strikeforce cagefighting champion Nick Diaz is only 26 years of age, but the young Stockton California native has fought in almost every legit MMA promotion there is, including a three-year, 10-fight stint with the biggest and best one, the UFC. All his matches have been tremendously entertaining, the best one possibly being the "news reel-style" knockout win over a heavily favored Robbie Lawler at UFC 47 in April of '04. Diaz, in my opinion, is one of the top "pound for pound" fighters in the world today, and the eldest of the two fighting siblings was recently in Las Vegas to race in the Xterra Triathlon, an "iron man" contest; but ...

UFC 111 Preview: Georges St Pierre and the Superman Punch

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
  While many people have complained that Dan Hardy is not a worthy challenger for UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre, and there is a solid argument to be made there, it's also worth emphasizing that any opportunity to see one of the best martial artists in the young history of our sport perform is not to be missed. To celebrate this rare treat I thought I would do a Judo Chop on one of the moves most associated with St Pierre: the superman punch.  In his most recent fights, especially his triumphs over the highly credentialed amateur wrestlers Jon Fitch and Josh Koschek, ...

The UFC’s Refusal to Promote Georges St. Pierre vs. Anderson Silva Is More Offensive Than the Collapse of Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010
When the negotiations for a "Superfight" between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. fell apart, MMA fans smirked and nodded.  The general reaction was something like this: "You see, this is exactly what is wrong with boxing.  They finally get a big fight that everyone wants to see, the fighters agree to all of the material issues in principle, and then it falls apart over some minor issue."  Dana White was among those that mocked the sport of boxing for failing to promote such a huge fight. He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones. Most fans and experts agree that Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre are the top two pound for pound fighters in the sport of ...

Georges St. Pierre Discusses the Two Kinds of UFC Fans

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010
UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has been getting a lot of questions from fans and the media over the last couple of weeks about why he has been dominating his opponents lately, but not finishing them. In a question-and-answer session with fans in Abu Dhabi last week, St. Pierre said that the discontent from some fans about his unanimous decision victory over Dan Hardy shows that there are two different types of people who watch the UFC. "I think there are two kinds of fans," St. Pierre said in the Q&A, which can be viewed at UFC.com. ...
