Meet The Amazing UFC-Champion Georges St. Pierre (GSP)

I have been following the career of one of UFC’s absolute superstars for some time now and I gotta tell ya, GSP does not seize to amaze me for a lot of reasons.

Refreshingly, Georges St. Pierre is simply a very down to earth and likeable guy. The kind of guy you could just sit down with and have a beer or whatever.

The Canadian from Quebec has stayed very humble and modest even after all the breathtaking success he has had on the mat and in The Octagon.

Unarguably, Georges has become one of the outstanding figures of MMA worldwide with a very strong background in kyokunshinkai karate and wrestling.

He is consistenty ranked among the Top 4 Pound-For-Pound MMA-fighters in the world, along with Fedor Emelianenko, Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.

Georges is very methodical in his workout that includes a lot of cross training with plyometrics.

His inclination to being extemely analytical when preparing for his next opponent continues to pay off for him, too.

He is very professional in his approach to fighting, career choices and the way he presents himself.

Recently I came across a magazine headline that made reference to the physical results of his training regimen and lifestyle.

“Georges St. Pierre, The Body Women Desire And Men Admire”.

I let you be the judge!

You Want This Former UFC Champ In Your Corner During A Bar Fight

You want this former UFC Champ in your corner during a bar fight.

And he even speaks Dutch just in case (oranje boven!).

Deep down, we all want to speak Dutch. Just admit it! I’m just kidding.

His name is ….. drumroll, please …. the amazing Bas “El Guapo” Rutten.

Years ago he started his martial arts career over in The Netherlands with
Tae Kwon Do, Oyama Karate and Muay Thai.

He can kick like a mule, so stay out of his way.

Later on he got involved in Pancrase and Ultimate Fighting. I guess you
could consider Bas Rutten one of the pioneers of UFC.

After an extremely successful UFC career this illlustrious Mixed Martial Artist
moved on to become an IFL coach and a highly sought-after fight commentator.

El Guapo is always up to some sort of crank and just loves to joke around.
Heck, he even cracked me up as a bouncer on the successful TV sit-com
“The King of Queens” with Kevin James. His real life experience as a bouncer
came in pretty handy.

Now, I am not entirely sure but I thought I just recently saw him in the movie
“Mall Cop” again with Kevin James (who has ben known to train with Randy
“The Natural” Couture). I believe he plays the drill sergeant at the beginning
of the movie.

It’s safe to say: You want this former UFC Champ in your corner during a bar fight.

Why? Just check out this clip (short version) and you’ll know why!

Viewer discretion is advised. This video is for informational purpose only.
Do not try any of this at home or your next bar visit!

Tell me what you think!
