Father
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fighter
|
Nov 07, 2020

Factors
|
Nov 07, 2020

As a fighter, that's not something that ever factors in, whether you go first or last or you walk out first or you walk out second. It's not something that ever factors in or you feel slighted about. I don't think that anybody would care. The job is the same.

Ever

Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter to have ever done it.

Good

The greatest form of expression - or, at least, the most common that we have as human beings, what separates us from the animals - is speaking: the ability to communicate.

Expression

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

Grabbing
|
Nov 07, 2020

A double leg in MMA is completely different than what you would do in wrestling because the posture's different. You're standing upright as opposed to bent over; you're slipping a punch as a opposed to grabbing a guy's elbow and doing a traditional elbow pull or slide-by in wrestling.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

Wrestlers tend to do good in MMA because they tend to be just some tough guys. It's not a karate situation where they grew up their whole life punching the air; in a wrestling situation, you grab a hold of another human being every day.

Like

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

Care
|
Nov 07, 2020

What you don't want is for somebody to not care. Whenever they have no feeling at all, that's bad. Even if they kind of like you or they kind of don't, that's also bad. It's got to be a strong emotion one way or the other.

|
Nov 07, 2020

Culture
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you call a Brazilian out publicly, you're going to be fighting that Brazilian. That's in their culture.

Doing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

Every fight day, I just stay in my room the entire day, and I just stay in bed. I sleep as late as I can, which usually isn't very late; I'm kind of an early riser. But I try to just stay there in bed. I don't usually eat the day of the fight. I don't eat until after the fight.

Fight
|

Deep Breath
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've suffered rib injuries, but I've never had a broken one. I've dislocated it and popped it, and even that, a big step down from broken, it hurts so bad. But you can't really move. You can't even fully breathe and take a deep breath of air.

Experience
|
Nov 07, 2020

Fight
|
Nov 07, 2020

I would never discredit the sport or my opponent by reading my injury list before or after the fight. I've always thought it's a very underhanded thing to do, and it's a very cowardly thing to do, to come out and say, 'I'm hurt,' particularly if you win a fight.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was never a bully; I would take on everybody at any time. Whether that was the No. 1 guy in the world or whether that was the No. 100 guy in the world, it didn't make any bit of difference. If somebody wanted to fight, I would show up and fight.

Hell

Good
|

How
|
Nov 07, 2020

When Georges St-Pierre retired and Jon Jones was absent, I had Jose Aldo, the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's how highly I think of him.

Down

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

Game
|

Fighter
|

Fighting
|
Nov 07, 2020
