Georges St.Pierre is among the best mma fighters of all time. But GSP is unique in many ways, one is the refusal to engage in sh*t talking:

“For me, I stay natural, I stay authentic to who I am, and I’m not good at trash talking, I’m just not good at it. If I try to do it, I’d make a fool of myself and I’m going to lose. First, English is not my first language, I think French in my head, and it’s like a rap battle, I’m just not good at it. I pick my fights very carefully, I fight where I’m strong.”

Happy to give my new middleweight belt to coach Victor. I owe a big part of my success in the octagon to the Montreal Wrestling Club & YMHA! pic.twitter.com/bHx8YPEHsM

 The case of Georges St-Pierre: An interesting part of the story behind any great athlete is the influence of various teachers and coaches upon his and her development. A feature of Mr St-Pierre is that he had a long time affiliation with highly specialized coaches. He had specialist boxing coaches, culminating in Freddie Roach, specialist Muay Thai/kick boxing coaches, of whom Firas Zahabi was foremost, specialist wrestling coaches, mostly from the Montreal Wrestling club (the importance of Montreal Wrestling club, particularly Victor Zilberman and Gia Sissaouri, in Mr St-Pierre’s development has never been sufficiently acknowledged in the MMA press – they were a tremendous resource throughout his career). I was the ground/jiu jitsu specialist. However, THE REAL KEY TO MR ST-PIERRE’S SUCCESS IN MMA WAS NOT IN ANY ONE ASPECT OF THE SPORT, BUT RATHER IN THE INTERFACES BETWEEN EACH SKILL AREA SO THAT HE WAS MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE, THE KING OF UNIFYING DISPARATE SKILLS INTO A SEAMLESS WHOLE. No one coach taught him this – his coaches were specialists – but he was the quintessential all rounder. The only logical conclusion is that Mr St-Pierre is personally responsible for the majority of his development in the area that bought him his success. He was not a passive learner – BUT AN INNOVATIVE SELF RELIANT INTEGRATOR. Whatever assistance myself and others may have offered, the primary credit must go to Mr St-Pierre himself. Watching his adaption of our specialized knowledge into his own integrated art has been a privilege

And even though John Danaher had him return to middleweight his boxing coach Freddie Roach would prefer to see him back in his weight class:

“I think it was the weight that got to him a little bit,” Roach said. “He’s not used to carrying that much weight. I think it did kick in a little bit quicker than usual. Again, we’ll work everything out and all get together and discuss what’s the best move next for Georges.”

Meanwhile the decision will be made as a team:

“I think we all need to get together as a team and make that decision as a team decision. I’m not the only one there and I want to see what everyone else thinks and so forth, what their thought patterns are on it. There’s always pluses and minuses, negotiation. “
