St. Pierre: "It's going to be a different story next time."

SLAM! Sports out of Canada has up a fluff piece on GSP and his thoughts on the rematch with Serra. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing you haven't heard before...but it's a Monday, work sucks and you want to read some MMA news.

Just how fluffy is it?

He didn't even get up to go for a pee. Not once.

The real highlight though is the "bad blood" buildup starting. Typical UFC "I like him..but he disrespected me" stuff.

"A lot of people asked me, 'what happened to you? You didn't look the same in your fight.' Maybe I shouldn't have said it, but I said I had issues, maybe I should have taken that fight. But I took it and I lost to a better man. That's it.

"He said I was giving excuses. Which is bad. I shouldn't say those things. But I did. He said, 'aw Frenchy, go back to your red wine and hockey game.' I'm a Frenchy guy ... okay man, we'll see next time. I never answered back to him, but I'm going to let my fist answer back next time. He's not my friend. I had a good relationship with him. He's a nice guy, he was a nice guy, until he crossed the line. Perfect. It's going to be a different story next time.

"I don't fight with my emotion," he added, "but when I have somebody say something like this, it gives me a lot of drive to train harder. So that's all good. I love that stuff."
