When Im hearing gsp voice Im always remembering his voice saying "Im not impressed by your performance!"....🙄
Jed Teng sad
😂😂😂😂😂😂 that is still the nicest insult in the history of MMA
lol he said he regrets saying that
Back in the day
"ARE YOU INTOXICATED"
These clowns probably have never seen a full GSP fight
zaid zuberi GSP was a BAAAAAD MAN
WoundrousMindTrick he said probably meaning he has neither but just inferring that they haven’t
zaid zuberi yea because they fell asleep in the middle of it lmaoooo
WoundrousMindTrick I just want to See mma being reported by competent reporters who know the game especially by the largest company in sports nothing against max and Smith there great at sports they follow
zaid zuberi because theyre too long. Just 5 rounds of gsp hugging
THE GOAT.
Clay Davis Jon Jones still the GOAT
JON JONES IS A CHEATING BUM WHO CHEATED HIS ENTIRE CAREER FUCK HIM
Sheeeeeiiiiit
gsp in West Baltimore? sheeeeeeeit
*GSP, Vaseline cheating, bubble gut.*
SAS talking about 2007 and Matt Serra like he's ever heard of any of this before producers briefed him on this segment.
SAS is a professional, he's supposed to do his research. It also doesn't mean he can't possibly be a fan just because he's not as versed in the sport as he is in others. Why do folks always feel compelled to judge someone else's authenticity? He loves Boxing too, but he often admits that he's no where as knowledgeable on the sport as Max.
💯
FRE FLO DO I mean let's be real, SAS doesn't have the time of the day to watch every single sport. They obviously did their research, and I only have minor nitpicks with them, like asking Georges why he retired when we all knew it was because of steroids and he wanted to chase aliens.
He makes Canada proud!!!
Jab, jab, superman punch, leg kick, double leg.
And the funniest thing is that everyone knows he's gonna do it, Bisping knows, but he still won't be able to prevent that GSP from doing it
Damian I wanna see Jon Fitch GSP. But having him back is enough for me
Chinh Tran I want The GSP who destroyed Jon Fitch to show up against Bisping too
Chinh Tran tap
and that's all he needs :)
One of my favourite fighters of all time, guys like GSP literally made MMA a popular sport, this guy was Conor Mcgregor for the OG UFC fans.
The 🐐 is back!!! #AndNew
LOL! GSP's response to tune-up fight question was a hard slap on boxing as a sport!
This dudes jab is lethal look out for that Saturday night
Furthest thing from lethal.
Jabbed Koscheck to the point he wasn't allowed to fly to the eye specialist, he had to drive there instead due to the broken bones and swelling. I'd say his jab is pretty lethal.
Entertainment Attorney Ya To this day Koscheck can’t feel the right side of his face
Lmao, Go take a look 7 of his last fights were Unanimous Decision's.
Good thing he doesn't portray himself as a boxer, nor has he ever. He's a Karate fighter who learned boxing from Freddie Roach and wrestling from the Canadian national team. Not sure what your point was meant to be
Molly i am not impressed with your looks - GSP -
he is a legend
GSP !!!! All the way ! The king is back :)
Molly wants to go 5 rounds with GSP 😉
Legend
As UFC fans, we got screwed by never seeing a GSP vs Silva fight.
Rojelio Castro not really
if you know MMA, then you know Anderson in his prime was too fast and too big for Goerges. Anderson knocked top guys out as high as 205 lbs in his prime Pre-USADA , and hit his peak smashing through people at 185 during his long title reign. The highest George has ever fought is Welterweight and he has been on the record saying he could go down to lightweight. Silva is just too damn big and in his prime, too damn skilled. the mauy thai prowess combined with fluid jiu jitsu and second to none reflexes and counter striking.. Georges himself has a great skill set of his own, but when you have an opponent THAT much larger than you & he's that skilled on a similar level , you almost have to acknowledge your skills will only take you so far against significantly larger, equally skilled opponent. Gorges knew all these things which is why the fight never happened.
I generally agree he wouldn't have had much of a chance but I wonder if GSP couldn't have gotten Silva to the ground. Silva would've been a huge favorite but that probably would've been his biggest challenge in his prime even with the size advantage.
ron peternorth That coming from a guy who doesn't even fight. Sure thing coach, Silva had problems with good wrestlers. Chael, Weidman etc.
first of all you have no idea if that first statement is true, secondly there are PLENTY of competent MMA coaches who never fought professionally. Martial arts isn't all about cage fighting you fucking DOLT, you can learn an art without fighting professionally, plenty of well known analysts have never fought either. this next part is gonna make me cringe having to explain this to your pea brain... Do NOT try to compare GSP, to Chris Weidman who is a HUGE 185, at 185 Georges is a blown up welterwight, Weidman and Sonnen have to CUT weight to make that fucking weight, you're a fucking idiot if you think Chael Sonnen and Weidman can be compared to tiny ass GSP! Shows how much you fucking know, for all that shit you're talking about my knowledge! and 185 is also where anderson was small! explain to me how tiny little GSP is gonna control someone who could once make 205? he's never fought anyone anywhere near that large! the dude got knocked out by Matt Serra! a blown up lightweight who just happen to fight 170! anyway, you don't have to like it, i know the truth, and facts inevitably hurt people's feelings like yourself. but it's all your gonna get if you'll make dumbass arguments like that And I'll say this one more time for the retards in the back: GSP knew that everything I'm talking about is relative and that's why he never let the fight happen.. In the UFC world of world class warriors, this notion that silly ass NEW casual fans have that people can just jump around from weight class to weight class while ignoring clear disadvantages. that's a fantasy world you live in, there's a reason weight classes exist, son.
GSP would eat up Conor.
Mazing Nope Conor will pick him apart no steroids anymore.
Maybe he could wrestle him to the ground but on the feet gsp wouldn't stand a chance and that's just facts
Denzel Trevon Johnson great Contribution Bro, you just proved you know fuck all
Mazing i dont know man it could go either way, gsp wouldnt get the finish while conor easily could get a finish, gsp got finished by matt sera lol, conor is 3 times the better striker than sera so its a 50/50 match, id give the edge to conor tho just as khabib would lose to conor, anyone who tries to take conor down risks getting clipped by his left
Realistically. Conor loses. George is from an era of no usada. Chances are he's been hit way harder than conor ever could. I see him surviving. Taking conor down and keeping him there
I respect GSP for speaking about his mental health and its importance. I respected him for stepping back and taking time for him. Not many athletes will admit to things like mental health issues.
THE GOAT
Can't wait to see some classic GSP mastery of the game.
anderson silva vs george st pierre the ultimate dream match that never happened smh
GSP is going to make Bisping Depressed after he gets that work
GSP is a legend just like myself
FAX
Agreed
Indeed #Mamba
Kobe is trash. GSP is real champion and athlete
+Issachar lost 2! you forgot to mention won 5 and that's when the NBA played defense not like today's globetrotter ball
GSP is so great!!! Im glad he won!!!
GSP looking healthy I'm hoping in for a five round war Bisping isn't a cake walk
GSP all day, my dudes.
Ernesto Chavez he’s not gonna be able to take bisping down and will lose because of that.
Bob The Boss Saget Facts and no roids anymore because of USADA that's how lucky Bisping is LMAO.
i read that wrong😂😂
The Conor question is stupid lmao. Conor was fighting at 145 a few years ago and this dude is fighting at 185 lmao. Conor would get smacked by everyone at 170+
Jordan only the casuals keep asking him that stupid shit.. it’s pathetic.
Gregory Retzepis he can't get down to 155 if he's fighting at 185 he's 35...
Jordan he could win the fight with slaps instead of punches.
Lmao you're talking common sense and you think GSP could make 155? The guy used to have to cut 15 pounds just to make WW. GSp's abs alone would have toruble weighing in at 155.
George fought at 170 Conner fights at 155 bout fought at 170 twice solo your comment is uninformed and unintelligent
George you are the more efficient animal! Lets go, baby.
Gsp is a class act. Hope he knocks out bisping.
Jin Oh yup
He did
Always Nice to hear opinions from Stephen A. Sunken-Place
The 🐐
GOAT
Greatest of all time
Max and Stephen a Smith know fuck all about mma. Prob hit Wikipedia right before this
Joe 'pull that shit up, Jamie' Rogan they are sport experts it's their job you don't even image all the sleep they have lost researching and memorizing everything about sports a he'll of a job has to alot of passion for this
Max isn't too bad TBH. At least he's really informed and knowledgeable with another combat sport. SAS on the other hand...
And you’re an expert.
Joe 'pull that shit up, Jamie' Rogan Lol
I prefer that they don't cover something they don't know or care about. If they don't like it, thats fine. It's worse when someone pretends to know what they are talking about.
🐐 returning 💪🏻
I am just happy GSP mentioned the stock market in this interview
How can we ever repay GSP for what he's done for us? 🐐
Molly getting wet
its d.w I heard she was the last person to leave the office today. Because she didn't want anyone to see the puddle that was formed in her chair.
Jalen bout to pull out the bat on all of yall
Yea she is
Its D.W Only you expressing that you got turned on by a dude.
Oh Wat a virgin u are
So much respect for max he’s up there with rogan for one of the best minds in combat sports . U can tell max knows his mma Stephen a on the other hand ...
I like his performance.
A GSP vs Connor McGregor fight would be insane.
Connor can’t wrestle gsp is debatably the best wrestler of all time it would not be insane and Connor is to small anyway
GSP would destroy Conor.
Gsp would wreck Conner
I WASNT IMPRESSED BY YOUR PERFORMAANACE
Good interview not gonna lie
The guy is a class act
Reporter: Why did you retire GSP: I needed some time to go get intoxicated
The market still looks strong come Saturday
St Pierre is an OG
He brought up the stock towards the end😂😂
I like him very much
Gsp really flexing in this interview
0:28 "... at the medicine square garden, it's a medical place..."
LMAO
I like the respect gsp gets nowadays
Where all the GSP Fans at!!!!!! The Best is back! - MondoNMind
GSP COMING LIFE FROM THE MSG fighting under contract for the UFC baby
Gsp is a top 5 pound for pound fighter in the history of the ufc, a straight boss in the squared circle.......
Go for it George good luck his a true champ . Unlike some ( McJoke ) belt holders who never ever defend CHUMP . Back to the fight seen both these chaps from their first fights to present day and I wish them both well in all future endeavors . My bucks on George . Win or lose his a true champ proven .
Mannnnn GSP was the fucking man in the first UFC game
First take should have had both Bisping n GSP to promote the fight. Not just because Bisping is champ but also because he promotes the fight way better than GSP does
Why because Mike is brash, and can't put to words together without cursing all the time? All that hype is a waste of time and energy. I'm only interested in hearing how they prepared and what they plan or expect to accomplish. Lately it's become like listening to a bunch of 12 year olds having a 'YO MAMA... DIS BATTLES'. Kid stuff. When 2 grown men are going to fight, I want to hear grown men talk. Period.
FRE FLO DO: Umm maybe because they are fighting for the MW title n Bisping happens to be the MW champ... Plus did you hear, tickets weren't exactly selling all crazy. A lot of ppl watch first take so any kind of promotion would be good for the fight. Bisping is not just "brash" either. That man is nearly blind from one eye. 90% of his loses come from fighters who are proven steroid cheats
Fight Anderson silva next after bisbing if you win
shariff ismail He can't. If he wins, it's in his contract that he has to fight Whitaker.
Jab 661 and he will win that fight too, he is to well rounded for robert, after that maybe? or a superfight against conor?
shariff ismail if you have a time machine I agree....
Casual
GSPs abs concrete looking through the shirt while My abs have been missing since 92
More ufc on first take !!!!
GSP is intense but calm
Money and he's confident in himself.
Why do people want Conor to get broken by gsp
You mean dry humped for 5 rounds.
Most top fighter's now are athletes in mma, some of the best athletes in the world.
You got your ass beat in the last two fights you had and this will be number three.
NY allows UFC to fight there when it's basically irrelevant now. I'm angry it's Bisping vs St. Pierre and not Silva vs St. Pierre.
A Real Good Guy You’re living about 5 years in the past. Silva (the goat) is so washed up I’m sad he hasn’t retired yet. Bisping vs gsp for the title is much a much better fight in the present day.
A Real Good Guy Yup plus Silva got robbed against Bisping as great as Bisping is he didn't deserve that win but I'm sure he'll make it interesting against GSP regardless
Qc represent !!
Oui ! Le roi est de retour :)
Ca va être 'crazy in the head' le gros!!!
Fou raide !
"Medicine square garden" a medical place lmfao
Max knows his mma
I really hope he wins but man it's going to be one hard ass fight
You were right about that
GSP and the Stock Market.
He's a 2-time UFC WW Champion. Check your facts ESPN
LOOK AT THAT POSTURE
Hendriks danced on GSP's face in his last fight, now Hendriks has slid back down the ladder and is on the under card lol
ESPN needs to explain UFC better. Tell the casual fans that GSP defended the belt 9 times and never lossed it. Fought in the welterweight golden age. Also talk about how losing in mma is much more common than boxing. In boxing if you have more than 3 losses people think you suck. But in mma being undefeated is super rare cause the fight can end in so many different ways AND every division has at least 3 world class fighters
Gsp is a french canadian thats why he has that accent when he's speaking english so in french i will say aller george tu es capable lache pas on le sais tu peux le battre! Hes came from a neighborhood that is close to mine
Jus Swag1387 and folks here insulting his English. I wonder how well they speak French?
Georges Stock Pierre. #AndNew
I guess there is no chance these experts could come up with even one new question for GSP....
GSP all the way!!!!!!
0:04 _"ur fighting in the Mecca..."_ Wow imagine if they really did fight in the Mecca! Please Dana make it happen
Surprised GSP could even *finish* this interview
Madison square garden is a medical place?
I think he meant "magical" place? But "medical" is just as funny:)
marc kearns he prolly meant he hopes it is after that ass whooping he’s gonna bring
He waited till Silva was gone to comeback and fight at Middleweight.
If he wanted to aim for the top he should have fought Silva while they were the same size and in their primes.
Gsp is the goat
3:06 GSP is in lluminati CONFIRMED
3:12
Samuel Ayala , lol 😂
Hahahahaha
Actually if you cared to take notice he has an ear piece in. This is GSPs body double.
I hope that's a joke
Gotta make 'istory
What is max kellerman doing here, do one mate
Both big fan of Connor and GSP. But saying it would be “suicidal” for Connor to fight Georges is a serious stretch ... yes these guys compete in their respective division, but lets not forget they “walking” at a much different weigh. Id say its a possibility, id rather not see them fighting each other, but its not out of the equation either.
Max kellerman acting like he knows something about GSP... you know damn well, he went on spark notes and did his 10 min review on GSP/Bisping before this show.
goat
I never see tuna fight but i wanna see 1? Does tuna fight anyway? I think tilapia is also agressive fish i will never eat tilapia anymore.
He always wanted to fight bisping
25-3 you forgot that loss to Captain America come on now!
🤨
95% chance he will win like a test for school
If you had no clue who these two people were you would just think they were two sports commentators...u never know who is a trained killer ..
Did Stephen A, call Max a tune up. lol
All i know is GSP better not look like he did against Hendricks cuz bisping is alot bigger n better striker. 4 years off man. id like to see him win but it might get ugly real quick.
This is the perfect example of why Molly shouldnt be asking questions and continue to do her and just sit there. Conor and George are fighting at weighclasses which arent even remotely close. What kindve stupid question is that?
