Georges St. Pierre Cageside At UFC 143: Diaz Vs. Condit

Georges St. Pierre has not fought since his UFC 129 bout with Jake Shields due to a knee injury while training for a title defense. That defense was originally scheduled to be against Nick Diaz, but Diaz skipped press obligations and the UFC punished him by giving the title shot to Carlos Condit. Then GSP got injured and the Condit fight was postponed while Diaz ran through B.J. Penn so impressively that Dana White and the UFC brass decided to move Diaz back into the title shot.

GSP would then suffer a major injury to his ACL, shelving him until mid to late 2012. So when the UFC decided to put Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz against the cage from each other for the interim welterweight title, with the winner to face GSP upon his return, it's no surprise that Georges was cageside.

The UFC released video of Georges at the fight, and that can be seen here:


I'd be interested in seeing these videos continue for future title contender bouts.

C'mon Georges. Show some emotion.

At about 1:33, he leans back and says “Ah, man!” This was about the most interesting part because it really felt genuine.

his Engish is bad...

and is getting worse, leading up to 143, it felt like he was having trouble getting his ideas across, i think it only adds to his nervousness. he would be better off speaking in French and getting a translator.

by carmine99 on Feb 11, 2012 2:06 PM EST up reply actions  

No.

I would much rather listen to his half decent English than listen to a translator.

i dunno...

listening to him on media day before 143, it looked like he was having a tough time explaining to ppl about his ideas, feelings etc. especially when he started talking about inner demons, street fights, a lot gets lost in translation, and gives room to ppl to call him names.

with a good translator, he can be more efficient, i think a lot of ppl who find him bland and boring are english speakers, i doubt he is like that around his network of french speakers.

By how terrible the translators they find are. I’ll take broken English over a heavyset lady that has no idea what MMA is or why she’s in a cage.

but there is no shortage of good french translators, do they really need MMA knowledge ? leave that to GSP, just be efficient in translating his words.

He's not, he's much less boring in french.

Not that he’s suddenly Chael Sonnen or anything, but he’s much more comfortable and it shows.

It's definitely a bit different than french as it is spoken in France.

But I’ve been in Montréal a month ago and aside from a few different expressions, it isn’t really that hard to understand.

Yup, I'm french.

He’s from Québec so his french definitely sounds different than mine. I wouldn’t call it bad though. There’s quite a few different expressions and the accent is different, that can make it difficult to understand to French people. But that’s just the way they speak french in Québec. Not bad french, just a different way to speak it.

between Mexican , Latinamerican and Catalunian Spanish apart from the fact that its each Latinamerican country has some of its own words and expressions :)

Now i have started to wonder how Siver speaks that German. One funny thing. Once i heard Schwarzenegger speaking German.. it was weird because he speaks English with still a hard accent but he eventually got to the point to speak also German with a kinda accent :)

what I took from this is that

Diaz wasn’t in GSP’s head as many said. At least not intimidating him, it seemed to me that GSP really wanted to whoop Diaz’s ass. This makes me wish the fight was happening even more cause GSP wrecks people when he’s pissed at them. Think BJ Penn and Matt Sera.

He says himself that he isn’t very strong and that a lot of high level MMA is “Which strongman fights the best?”

He says that Georges is the strongest strongman, but that Georges has the best technique, too.

Makes sense

I once heard weed causes schizophrenia, so I imagine increasing your reach is just another ugly side effect they don’t talk about.

Very true….I always use striking to set up the clinch/td on taller guys. Once I get ahold of a taller guy, even in the clinch I am fine. Part of that is due to my wrestling style, I love throws/body locks etc.

Forgive my terrible typing

To give you an example, my wife is 4’11" 120lbs.

I honestly have a harder time lifting her than I do tall lanky 180ish lbs guys.

Her center of gravity is so damn low that I can’t apply my strength without really getting low myself.

I can't deny it :)

From my knees I can pick her up really easy, but standing is a bitch sometimes. :P

Part of it is I consciously(and unconsciously sometimes) use much less strength when I roll with her.

Have you noticed that you feel stronger on the mat from a kneeling position, too?

true

but after Condit beat Diaz it makes me think GSP would have put a beating on him. Not trying to rip Condit, but I feel GSP is on a different level.

by attgnp on Feb 11, 2012 2:18 PM EST up reply actions  

I remember after the first round

Thinking that round alone cleared all doubts of GSP being able to beat Diaz.

Ultimately, before this fight I thought Condit was the harder matchup for him anyway, if only for one punch KO power.

to add

I honestly think the reason an angry GSP wrecks people is because he admittedly was picked on growing up and I think he has that nerdy revenge mentality. Its kind of like okay now its my turn to pick on you, only I’m going to uses my fist, shins, elbows, etc.

interesting......

words were exchanged between GSP/diaz, after the fight diaz came to cage and said something to GSP, and he replied “hope you win”. man the audio of what diaz said would have been nice.

by carmine99 on Feb 11, 2012 2:19 PM EST reply actions  

maybe GSP just knows how to beat Diaz

I mean it’s no brainer, if BJ Penn could take Diaz down. Diaz also doesn’t have good strike defence, he likes to smother people and relies on his chin, so GSP can jab freely with his stiff jab which he had been honing for years and if Diaz comes forward in his plodding flatfooted way GSP can take him down and lay on him in side control untill stood up, then the same thing for the rest of 5 rounds and then interviews like "OH, Diaz is an amazing fighter, very tough hard to finish, I tried but you know, maybe next time and go colelct his paycheck

Yep

With ease.

If you go back on watch the first fight especially, you can see that BJ was miles and miles ahead in the grappling dept.. He just didn’t do it.

Went back and checked the second fight. Just fast forwarded it to see where I remembered Penn taking him down.

In the beginning of the fourth round, Penn got double underhooks and tripped Edgar to the mat. He started working from top position, trying to secure mount on Edgar. They were on the ground for a brief portion, Edgar on his back, then Edgar scrambled his way back up to his feet.

They should have done one of these for Lesnar

While he was watching Mir vs. Nog. It would have been lulzy.
