"I see myself (in Mousasi). But two weight classes above. He's a great fighter. He's very open-minded. He's amazing. He taught me two great techniques. Those two things I learned today are worth my whole trip. I'm very happy, and I'm going to be working on it a lot."-- Georges St. Pierre feels like he'll never know enough about mixed martial arts.
"If I could have a choice between money, fame or wisdom and knowledge, I would take wisdom first, without hesitation. I'm already a better fighter than I was before the practice. I have more knowledge."

Same. Also i think Dan Hardy just shat himself.
Mauricio Shogun Rua #1 LHW in the World. The TRUE Champion.

GSP just keeps getting better, did anyonme notice when he was training with marquardt, he wasnt even half trying but taking nate down at will, yet nate going full out couldnt touch him once.
What’s scary is this is just the beginning for MMA. And one day we’ll be talking about how GSP wasn’t good enough and was still not as skilled as “new fighter”. Like every facet has evolved and that’s scary.

This is true, however if GSP is smart and goes out before he is past his prime...
then there is a great chance he will be that forever legend like some boxers from the early 1900s.
Yeah, but hopefully not too early like Genki Sudo. His skills are soooo far ahead of the curve which is incredible, but one day there will be a fighter who’s waaaaaay more advanced. That’s a scary thought. Grapplers are doing crazy shit that you would never have seen 5 years ago. That’s why I get excited about this sport.

I sometimes think that watching GSP now must be like watching Rocket Richard in the early 50s. Which just gets me so excited thinking of what a Bobby Orr, Wayne Gretzky, or Alex Ovechkin might be like.

That’s what I’m saying…he’s doing some really gnarly shit but like you’re already seeing more advanced grappling. You aren’t going to see advances in Boxing but you will with combos and takedowns and bjj. FUCKING RIDICULOUS.

I love GSP
but it’s pretty gross that he “sees’ himself in mousasi” ;-)
Oh, yes, Meg, yes-yes yes, everything was going swimmingly for you until this. Yes, yes, THIS is the thing that will ruin your reputation, not your years of grotesque appearance, or your awkward social graces, or that Felix Ungerish way you clear your sinuses, no no no, it's THIS. Do you hear yourself talk? I might kill you tonight.
In related news, Dan Hardy hates Gegard Mousasi.

They’re wearing All Access passes at a StrikeForce Event? It’s GSP & Mousasi… I wouldn’t have thought they needed those. Maybe GSP… cuz he’s with the competition, but Gegard is their champion.
Even the people who work for Strikeforce don’t know who he is.

I hope him and Gegard become real good friends.
Just makes it more likely he’ll end up in the UFC :)
Sounds like the GSP-Mousasi partnership may last beyond the next 2 weeks. Those guys becoming even part time training partners would be incredible for both. GSP already is learning things, and Mousasi can certainly benefit from the technical training GSP has (espeically wrestling). Both guys are just going to be even scarier and more well rounded in the future.
I’m already a better fighter than I was before the practice
im just waiting for you to become heavier St. Pierre,
I am. I think. I will. - Ayn Rand
Look at him in that picture.
He, a Welterweight, is basically the same size as Mousasi, a Light Heavyweight.
No doubt that GSP will be in the Middleweight division before very long.
Goldie: "Michael Jordan-esque in his grappling skills is Travis Lutter."
Rogan: "No, no he's not. No."
One of the bottles is not like other.
Keep sleepin' on me...
