Canadian UFC Welterweight Superstar Georges St. Pierre And “Operation Olympic Wrestling 2012″?

One of the absolute superstars of mixed martial arts, Georges St. Pierre from Montreal, is seriously considering to take a hiatus from his extraordinarily successful UFC career to “empty his cup”.

What that means is that GSP has been thinking out loud about trying for the Canadian Olympic Wrestling Team to compete at the London Olympics in the summer of 2012.

Well, you already know that I admire the fact that he is willing to get out of his comfort zone.

Just think of it:

He is currently at the top of his game, fighting for Dana White’s UFC and is one of the top 3 or 4 Pound-For-Pound Fighters in the world.

Some would even say he is THE invincible UFC-welterweight with a work ethic and athleticism second to none.

Now, stepping onto Olympic wrestling mat is quite a different story, even though GSP is considered one of the best wrestlers on the professional MMA circuit.

Believe it or not, Georges St. Pierre didn’t wrestle on a high school or college level!

In his 20′s, he finally added wrestling to complement his fighting arsenal and thus became a force to reckon with.

As he says himself, it won’t be easy once he has made that final decision and commitment to go Olympic.

GSP will have to adjust his training and will have to prevail numerous qualifiers to even become a member of the Canadian Olympic Wrestling Team.

I am not going to speculate on the money he will be leaving on the table while he pursues his Olympic dream, should he actually go for it.

What do you think: Will GSP go for it or not???
