Georges St-Pierre
UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre (22-2) had been sidelined with a knee injury for most of the past year, but is now back training 100% and the French-Canadian “can’t wait” to get back into the cage and assert his dominance at 170-lbs.
The time St-Pierre took off certainly helped him recover physically, but also mentally, and in a recent interview on “The MMA Show with Mauro Ranallo“, the champ explains his eagerness to fight again.
“I’m 100 percent and I can’t wait. I’m very anxious to be back. (The time off) helped me fix a lot of my personal life and a lot of my training life. I’m happy again. I feel like I’m more happy than I ever was and I’m more hungry to be back. I recently moved closer to TriStar Gym to a better and more comfortable place. Before I was driving 40 minutes twice a day to get to the gym. Now, I have much more time to recover in between training and it’s going to make a difference.”
St-Pierre will certainly face interim title holder Carlos Condit next, with the two meeting at UFC 154 this November in Montreal.
Also featured on the podcast along with GSP are UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz and Blackzilian manager Glenn Robinson.
