Georges St. Pierre: "I think I can get much, much, better."
by FiveKnuckles.com Staff on December 16, 2010

"I think my peak is still ahead. I'm 29 years old. I get better every time, I feel stronger every time, and I've changed a lot of things in my training, and I try to keep it a secret. I keep it for me and it makes me better. I think I can get much, much better than I am right now." - Georges St. Pierre

Georges St. Pierre issues a scary proclamation for those with welterweight, and possibly middleweight, title aspirations. The best just keeps getting better and appears to be adding new skills to his already "atomic" arsenal.

St. Pierre has shown some improvement in nearly every fight he's been involved in, but it's his ability to add high level skills, quickly, in areas unrelated to his traditional martial arts background, that have made him special.

Though he had limited Brazilian jiu-jitsu training, St. Pierre entered the UFC with a strong Karate background and was known primarily as a dominant striker. However, after suffering a loss to Matt Serra, he shocked the MMA world by coming back in his next fight to out-wrestling former Division I wrestling champion Josh Koscheck at UFC 74. He has subsequently garnered a reputation as the best MMA wrestler in his division and one of the best in all of MMA.

In his last fight, also against Koscheck, St. Pierre again displayed his ability to evolve, unleashing a heretofore unseen devastating jab to outclass Koscheck at UFC 124. Compubox numbers show that St. Pierre landed 140 strikes against Koscheck with more than 100 of those strikes classified as non-power strikes - namely jabs.

St. Pierre utilized the jab to such effect that he broke his opponents orbital bone sometime in the fights' second round. Many cageside observers and pundits remarked that St. Pierre had utilized the jab to greater effect than anyone in UFC history.

He just sits there and he has a recording of his lines and he plays them randomly when they ask. he looks around after he talks too. It's funny, he has that smart ass smirky look going where you can tell he's thinking, "man, I am so smart. Look at these dumb fucks. They actually think I respect the other fighters." GO HARD: gsp is a lame. he doesnt keep it real. he kept it real once... when he wasnt impessed by hughes perfumance.. hes just a little puppet. Marker28: He's going to have to get much, much better if he goes up against the Spider. Tonika Fatale: Yea my boy GSP:) Marker28: I would love to see GSP take a few mw fights.
