George "Saint" Pierre and Chris Weidman training together

[DaleBoca]

After you say say St Pierre, you’ve gotta throw in a Hon Hon Hon.

Come at me, frère.

 

[Sansnom]

Wish someone filmed that. Would pay to see lol.

The dude in the photo doesn't even look like Weidman. It actually looks like Condit lol.

 

[GODZILLA213]

Would like to see how GSP does against Ryan. Either of them now that I think about it.




That's Gordon Ryan in the picture for those that don't know. Probably the best grappler in the world right now.

St-Pierre actullay is Saint-Pierre
"St" is just an abreviation

I know this, but the quotes indicate that he means Saint is a nickname, not an actual name.

The only error I see is he just said "saint" instead of George "the saint" Pierre

Pretty lame to be a bitch over OP missing out "the" in a fighters nickname

You think his nickname is The Saint?

You shittin' me?

 

[ANIM4L]

George under Weidman isnt a good look for GSP in my eyes.

 

[Wizzlebiz]

Why did you call him "Saint" like it's his nickname? It's his actual name.

Sorry for being a Debbie Downer... I'll go now.

Nope dont apologize it bugs the shit out of me too.

Weidman couldn't hold down Mousasi who I think doesn't even have a bjj belt.

Jones isn’t highly ranked in BJJ either.

Pardon ?

Is that what you're referring to also ?

Sounds like you might be in a "RUSH" to make a conclusion.

 

[boingyman]

Would be fun to watch them roll together. Weidman may not what he use to be, but is a beastly grappler. Did everyone forget how well he did again Galvao in ADCC.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

You say that as if GSP isn't a world class elite grappler.

Weidman is a better grappler, he's also mentioned grappling with GSP before and it sounds like he dominates GSP.

 

[BBMN]

Sounds like you might be in a "RUSH" to make a conclusion.

Fun fact - GSP's favorite rock band of all time is Rush, and his favorite movie is The Saint.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

He's bigger but better? That's subjective, only way to know that is to watch them grapple each other.

They have, around the time of the first Anderson fight Weidman talked about grappling with GSP and made it sound like GSP would have no chance against him in a fight due to the grappling.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Weidman couldn't hold down Mousasi who I think doesn't even have a bjj belt.

BJJ isn't the only grappling style, besides Mousasi's grappling from the bottom is better than GSP's.

 

[Kryptt]

Rush, Rush
I thought I heard them calling his name now

 

[Damianj]

Weidman is a better grappler than GSP

Matt Hughes was a better grappler too
Alves was a better grappler too
Shields was a better grappler too
Fitch was a better grappler too

Oh wait .....

They may have grappled but whatever Weidman says, is again, subjective. He'll say whatever he has to to make himself look better.

Actually the way he said it seemed like he was diminishing how much he gets the advantage over GSP while grappling. I don't get why that's so unbelievable to you though, Weidman has at least 15lbs on him, and is a better wrestler and submission grappler.

He was asked about how a fight with him and GSP would go and he said he wouldn't want to fight someone that much smaller that he has a grappling advantage over, you could tell from his expression that he wanted to brag more but he left it at that.

Oh wait .....

Weidman is ADCC level. He almost submitted André Galvão. GSP is better at MMA but not pure grappling, which is what they are doing
