GSP and Head Trainer Zahabi "Protect This House" In New UnderArmour Ad

There are plenty of shots of Georges St. Pierre (19-2) looking bad-ass in this nationally televised UnderArmour commercial, and TriStar's head trainer Firas Zahabi gets his share of the limelight as well.

GSP Talks Dan Hardy

It's always nice to hear from Canada's MMA stand-out and all-around good guy, Georges St-Pierre (19-2). In this video from MMAFanhouse he candidly discusses his approach to fighting and what he thinks of Dan Hardy's chances of taking his belt. Personally, I would say it is not very likely.

Georges St-Pierre Intends To Quit While He's Ahead

-
In a wide-ranging discussion with MMAJunkie.com,UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre discusses his plan to retire well before his body absolutely forces him to:

"It's very hard for a boxer or a mixed martial arts fighter to retire on top," St-Pierre said. "What you need to do is listen to your entourage. When your entourage tells you, 'Georges, you have beaten everybody. I think you're on top now. I think if you lose or if you wait a little bit more, maybe you can take a risk to retire on the bottom or affect your well-being' – when something like that happens to me, when my close friends or people in my entourage start telling me that, I'm going to start thinking about retirement."

Of course, the goal of quitting on top is a lot easier to say while you're young, than it is to actually do when you're old. Just ask Chuck Liddell... and Matt Hughes.

GSP Says He's Healthy, Ready For The Next Challenge

UFC welterweight champion Georges "Rush" St-Pierre (19-2) recently told the Canadian Press that his torn groin is fully healed, stating "My injury is 100 percent now, I'm ready to go now."

GSP goes on to explain that, instead of undergoing surgery, he visited fellow Quebec-native and groin injury specialist, Dr. Marc J. Philippon, who injected the affected area with St-Pierre's own blood platelets to promote healing. That's a new one to me.

"Rush" says he's be ready whenever called-upon, which will likely be to face the winner of Mike Swick (14-2) vs. Dan Hardy (22-6) who are set to tangle at UFC 106 (Nov. 14th). Here are some of his thoughts on that match and the individual strengths of his potential future opponents:

"I look forward to fighting again and I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen between Swick and Hardy…. It doesn’t matter who I’m fighting, it’s always dangerous. I learned my mistake when I fought Matt Serra, who was a big underdog. I’m the kind of person who never makes the same mistake twice…. [Dan Hardy is] a great fighter, he really deserves it. … He’s got very lethal, very powerful hands. He can knock you out with one punch. It’s always a big danger when you fight a guy like him…. Mike Swick is very very fast, has probably the fastest hands in MMA. A very accurate puncher, he’s very well-rounded so it’s going to be a very interesting fight. They both have the tools to beat each other. I think the winner of this fight will be the guy who has the best strategy and who fights the smartest.”
