Georges St. Pierre Arrives In Manila:
"It’s a long flight but I made it. It’s perfect. It’s my first time and I already like it. Weather is great and people are very nice"

The UFC champ will be in the Philippines for 3 days, and will be having an open-workout that is expected to draw thousands of fans.

GSP says Floyd is afraid to lose to Manny:
"Knowing that Pacquiao is a big, big threat, he doesn’t want to have that fight because he might have a lot to lose. I’ve seen Mayweather’s last fight, he got rocked by [Shane] Mosley. I think Pacquiao is really untouchable right now. If they fight like tomorrow, I think Pacquiao would win,"

—From ABS CBN

I agree

Like it’s been stated, he doesn’t want to risk that loss, he’d rather be known for ducking Pacquiao and staying unbeaten (since history will clearly remember his record but not the circumstances around these two not fighting), vs being Pacquiao’s best win.

nice , can u pl keep us updated on how the philipino people are taking to him..

I really hope they show up in the thousands,… I would love to see mma take off there…. Went there last summer and lots of people in to basketball but it would be nice to see them take to mma….

it's sure to get thousands of people.

when Chuck Liddell came here, it wasn’t even advertised and he drew 4000-5000 people just for an open workout… And this is GSP who is a current champ, and his appearance has been HEAVILY advertised on TV.

GSP has a future in politics

I totally agree with the point he’s making, but it’s a really nice play to the local crowd.

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

I guess GSP thinks 100+ degree weather is nice

I wish I hadn't google'd that.

to be fair,

it doesn’t taste as bad as it looks. Especially if you add rock salt… (I don’t eat the chick though, just the yolk, and the other non-baby duck stuff, which tastes really good)

Probably a quick session with Freddie Roach

Have you felt the riddum yet? It’s known to radiate outwards from GSP for several hundred miles around him. If you hear a slight beat and a vibration in the air, follow it towards the epicenter to find him.
