Georges St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) is among the most respectful, level-headed fighters in UFC history, but his signature moment on the mic remains one of the most beloved lines of trash talk ever uttered inside the octagon. In retrospect, St-Pierre now admits it was

 

[Bmurray]

It was a great moment in MMA.

I can see how Georges would feel like a dick in hindsight though.

 

[Was Exiled]

George should feel really bad for ruining Hughes' special night, imo.

 

[Jblizzle]

Hasn't that been his stance on that moment for since pretty much right after it happened?

 

[TheNinja]

I didn't think it was GSP being a dick. I felt like he was kind of pushed into the situation by the UFC and was uncomfortable on the mic. And in a way that his English isn't always perfect, it just came out kind of prickish. But I never felt that GSP was a bad guy or was purposely ruining Hughes' special moment.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

One of the greatest MMA quotes of all time

 

[AJ Garcia]

Georges is such a good dude. He can't even try to hype a fight without feeling bad. lol

I remember when he coached tuf, and someone from Kos' team won and they were screaming and talking shit. Then when GSP's team won, he told them "even tho they did that, we're not gonna be disrespectful and act like them" or something like that.

 

[TwoFace]

This guy is so plain, so vanilla, so bland that when he says something as boring as "I was not impressed by your performance" everyone loses their shit and it becomes a highlight.

Where if BJ Penn, Jon Jones, Chuck, Tito, Rampage, Conor, Chael, Diaz Bros, Brock, Mir or anybody else said that it would have been forgotten the next minute.

GSP is still the GOAT for me and this pathetic attempt at trash talking is like his only example of a trash talking attempt. Love the guy but he and UFC fans need to relax, it wasn't a "Holy shit" moment.

 

[Got GOAT]

"Low class" huh? :icon_lol:

 

[7th]

what do you mean "now admits"? he went and apologized to matt right after, then low class matt said "he apologized like an 8 year old"

 

[Headkicktoleg]

If he thinks it was so low class why did he make a song about it.



I just want to know what the Ape Technique is.

 

[yekmurat]

one of the best mma quotes ever

 

[AJ Garcia]

Also, this if fucking hilarious.

 

[Cooliox]

GSP-Hughes-Penn triangle helped build MMA.

 

[Gunny]

Hasn't that been his stance on that moment for since pretty much right after it happened?

That is correct

 

[The Clamburglar]

It's probably my favorite piece of trash talk ever.

Too funny.

 

[Frank23]

"Low class" huh? :icon_lol:

GSP has a left a great legacy.

 

[psyops]

I loved it, I was not a Hughes fan so I didn't mind him taking that.

 

[Cantalope]

George should feel really bad for ruining Hughes' special night, imo.

Ha!

 

[Puss]

Umm... That's what he's been saying this whole time.
