UFC welterweight king, the Canadian Georges St. Pierre answered TATAME's call after dominating Thiago "Pitbull" in the hundredth edition of the UFC. In a relaxed chat, which you check at the TATAME Magazine #162, the fighter opened the game about the victory. "I thought he would be my most difficult challenge, because it’s like in mathematics, and Thiago Alves has an equation that I had never fought before, different problems that nobody had ever given me before", said St. Pierre, who also commented his training routine.
Black belt of Jiu-Jitsu and Karate, GSP saw the Brazilian Lyoto Machida put the Karate in the map of MMA. "My Karate style is Kyokushin and Lyoto’s is Shootokan, the rules are a little different. But I think it isn’t the style that makes the fighter, is the fighter that makes itself, and Lyoto Machida is a great fighter", praises Georges, taking the opportunity to reveal the desire to train with the fighter. "I would love it, because I love Karate and Lyoto is a great fighter", he said.
In the exclusive report with the champion, who is in the pages of the August edition of the TATAME, you will also know what St. Pierre thought when he got injured during the fight against Pitbull, his relationship with Brazil, promising to return to the Marvelous City still this year, and the possible duel against Anderson Silva, champion of the top category of the Ultimate.
