George is an all around, awesome and genuine guy.

Every time I hear GSP speak I like him even more. Not only a great fighter but also a great person.

I like a legend who also considered that luck played some part in their story. He is balanced and no narcissism at all.

Just a credit to the sport. Another example of true greatness.

This is one of the best advices you can get. George doesn't even say he's one of the best. He was saying that everything was aligned for him to be able to get where he was at. For the ppl that gets it. Man this was deep.

GSP is an amazing guy. He's like a "Hero" of UFC, as apposed to the majority of "Villain" characters there are now.

The true GOAT of MMA. Not just inside the octagon but outside too. He didn't need to take PED's to perform well. Just hard work & dedication that made him so great.

Patrick’s vernacular changes when speaking with GSP 😂

Everything GSP is saying is spot on and all done by design by Daddy Dana who didn't want fighters having any power .💯

Can't help but like and respect him, and good advice on top of it. He has his head on straight. Much respect 🙏

Charles Barkley, said something similar. He went to poor schools and majority of the kids want to be pro athletes, rich schools the minority wanted to be athletes. Chuck said the poor kids have a higher likelihood of being a doctors, than athletes. He said he was just one of the few who were able to be a successful athlete.

George is an all around real on this and telling everyone the truth of the situation. Respect

this channel deserves way more views

My favorite fighter of all time. Not just because of his fighting but his humility and just seems like an all around descent man.

That part at the end is spot on.

*Sean Strickland enters the chat*

The GOAT has endless wisdom. Always love hearing his interviews

You can’t not love GSP, good man

so genuine... so freakingly genuine george is!!!

When *GSP* stepped away from school when he got his first title shot I was hoping he'd continue that story because he lost that first title fight against *Matt Hughes.* What made him not go back to school, keep fighting & training like he was before the title shot

What an absolute legend this is the best GSP clip I've ever seen

Gsp is the closest thing to perfect fighter 💯 true legend in and outside of the ring

Absolutely Brilliant MAN!! Thank You!! And May God Bless You Good Sir.

Very wise man. Good stuff.

great advice about school, a coach told me the same in 8th grade, best advice ever!

Favourite athlete inside and outside of sports, amazing person ,incredible fighter.GOAT.

Very humble dude and great advice

The Reebok deal screwed over a lot of fighters and now the UFC is making even more money than ever but fighters are making less. Mark hunt said he was getting paid almost $1,000,0000 to fight back in 2013 , where as Francis only earned $600 k to defend he’s title as champ.

This guy was the best of the best and it's great to see him getting the Respect worldwide and winning almost every goat vote there is.

Georges is a man's man. He's the kind of people I surround myself with. 3:13 I've said it for years. "Where there's money, there's corruption"

So much wisdom here...the Philosophy of GSP 💯💯💯

Fighters don't need to worry about keeping the organization afloat. Also they do not bear the risk if the company goes down.

George keepin it real the world listens to the stories of the successful because they have a voice but we don't hear stories of people who don't make it because they don't have a voice and we don't want want to listen to stories of the unsuccessful

I'm glad Jorge is humble enough to recognize just how lucky he is. He said he work hard, but everything was a line for him. I think what he means is, the other guys that didn't make it, they work just as hard, but they just had different paths. Sure some didn't work as hard as him. But there are many who work just as hard and we're in the wrong era so didn't make any money or never got the opportunity.

Real talk.

Man , this guy's opinions resonates so much with mine

Him and Khabib are solid

This why UFC's best era was still during the MMA explosion starting around Rampage beating Chuck for the belt and ended when GSP retired.

Awesome, it's so amazing to listen to him being so grounded with such massive achievements. And a very practical advice as well, follow your dreams but have a backup plan for sure, you never know when a car hits you and you end up in bed or a punch on head changes your reflexes

I've done somewhat ok in business , not crazy well but ok, and what he said is true .. you need to be lucky and everything needs to be aligned .. lots of people are smart , lots of people are dam good at what they do , not everyone is lucky were everything aligns at just the right time ... Your a legend GSP for not saying it's only my hard work that did it cause it's not .. khabib kinda puts it the same way , except that instead of luck he considers it blessing from god ... You always need that little bit of luck or that blessing to make it to the top or even to achieve some level of success that is uncommon ..

Love listening to him. Realistic in all sense. Only .001% make to that level so enjoy being what you are

Amen to that;) Education = Good insurance… always pays to invest in gray matter;)

Not a bug fan of UFC but thus guys is literally a good hearted guy with truth... like Kevin oliery lol

Legend

I love GSP

GSP the octagon legend 🙌👏👏👏

I don't know that we've ever had a champion as classy as this bloke before

GSP is the king inside and outside Arena , he’s just beautiful energy to be around. Enjoy your time my brother

My understanding is that, top UFC fighters get paid much less than boxers but, the lower tier fighters on UFC contracts get paid much more then lower tier fighters in other sports, to ensure a future crop. They also pay 'feeder' organizations. If you see any clips from smaller organizations you'll most likely see the 'UFC fightpass' banner on the canvas. I would hope, some of this money they pay to have content on their streaming service, gets to the up and coming fighters. I think the UFC operates much more like a league rather then just a fight promoter.

It was the same thing Khabib said during his hall of fame speech, bu then from the point of view of a believer( not saying that George isn’t one): he said that there are so many people that are talented but don’t make it but you did…don’t think because you worked hars for it or smth like that, there are millions of people that work harder than you probably, it’s all because God made it possible for you. Like George said only in other words: the path was opened for me, I was lucky. You should think about this.

He is love man ❤️ goat inside and outside, very intelligent 🙏

The odds are against you.... Wise words George. Think about that when you see all these betting apps being advertised as well.

George speaks the best English for a second language dude iv ever heard

There's so many fighters also and that gives the ufc power to control the fighters as well. They can just replace every prospect with a new prospect!

Our champ ,the greatest of all time . Vive le Quebec ! Legend. Gentlemen. Class. He is our national fighting M .J.

George is very intelligent man

This is why GSP is one a Hall of Famer. One of the most intelligent fighter who can control the fight like what he wanted to. More like Khabib. Very clever on & off the cage. Actually he is totally right no wonder some of the athlete tried to balance their passion even they are at the top they are still doing their studies. Perfect example is the Portuguese MotoGP rider Miguel Oliveira who has finished his course & actually licensed Dentist at the moment. Although he can practice it because he is trying to compete at the top level. That goes to show that it's possible. Also the former MotoGP rider Karel Abraham who has finished Law School as a business Atty.

Lorenzo said in an interview that he was most they ever paid a fighter during that time and it was 5million a fight

Hilarious. Asking his parents permission to train for a title fight.😂

GSP is a very realistic dude.

legend

People seem to forget back before Dana White fighters were getting the shit kicked out of themselves in unregulated matches for $50 and some free beer after the fight. Everybody is so worried about what UFC fighters make, it's bizarre.

Fighters gotta get along thought if they want à union

I love how he pronounces school 😄❤️

George's insurance was his Superman punch...

Simply the goat you know what i mean!

Who would have thought that Batroc from The Winter Soldier was such a great guy 😉

GSP vs Anderson Silva was the super fight that never happened

The way that guy said Ngannou..

GSP is good dude.

i once met georges at an airport in montreal in like 2004 i was 14 or maybe 2005 and i was 15, we were all standing in line and i just lift my heads up and on the next row behind me, there he was, tha baddest man on the planet, im 31 years old now and ill always remember that moment, i was a little fuck and i asked my father out loud; HEY DAD! IS THAT HIM??! IS THAT GEORGE ST PIERRE?!?!? my brother went nuts hes 2 yeasr older than me and he couldnt believe it so my father looks him straight into his eyes and georges knew hed have to sign autographs and shit, back in the day no one knew who gsp was in canada, my father said yes, yes son thats him, we had the conversatipon in french and george understood every single words, my father said; please dont bother him, youve already made everyone aware that hes in the airport so just leave him be. 14 years old and i was in freakin awe and i listen to my father, i was just shooked, georges just smiled at me and my brother and shook our hands (and the 100+ people after me who werent as respectful), hes just such a great human being. looking back i wished my eyes didnt catched him in the waiting line because no one else knew he was there or who he was before i screamed like a 14 years old lmao.

School is good for the degree, but find what you love, and want to do and then go into that. Finding what you want to do is the key.

Wise words from the wise.

I love George! I think he is off about the PPV share now though.....

"no no I did a LOT more" 😂

07:00 GSP dissing Matt Hughes

GSP the goat of UFC

Please stop interrupting your guests David! Let them finish their thought!🙏

GOAT GSP(!)

I think the problem is that Everything is going well for Dana white. Whatever you think about Logan Paul he is showing that fighters can make more without ufc.

When George mentions PEDs Michael Chandler pops up immediately in my mind. That dude is juicing 💯

Usman on fucking major gear, Francis too, prolly 99% of Ufc lol

I thought he said something else when he said negotiation 1:44

Olivera would have lost over 2 million on the PPV portion of his contract if Dana had not agreed to overlook that he was not technically champ. So I think the champ still gets PPV points.

The only few fighters that earn real money currently are Cornor mcgregor, Israel Adesanya, Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman. The other fighters only get paid well when they fight Cornor

You can tell his head is on straight, he also took very little damage during his career.

GSP is the greatest champion the sport has ever seen.

🐐

They still have points of PPV

Leave it to Adam to ask a question after its already been answered 🤣

Fighters definitely get PPV points. Champs and fighters like Masvidal have negotiated for them.

I love hearing George sock about steroids every time somebody brings it up because he's the only one in the room that doesn't realize he took them

Don’t champions still get PPV points ?

What a pride for any Quebecois to have this humble champion as a model. Wow. He has 3 kids and a wife btw.

George is the white version of Mike Tyson. A badass trained killer who looks scary, acts scary and is legitimately terrifying... until he speaks

No surprise that fighters make less now if you've been following it for a while

Love George, the best years of the UFC are behind them.

Pat is quite the character. Apparently, when regular folks seek a raise, they're suddenly labeled as communists. Meanwhile, fighters are barely scraping by on their pay

Fighters get paid exactly what their contract says and more.

Unfortunately there's no guarantees with school either
