Jake Seager Learn the difference between theories and facts. See the Jews brainwashed and enslaved your dumb, worthless ass. They also pulled off 9-11. blamed it on the muslims with their grip on the media and we've been fighting their wars forwarding their new world order dictatorship ever since and getting our liberties taken away all for our safety of course. You might as will start bowing down like the weak, dumb, bitch you are.
Wow I kinda miss GSP... Classiest champion, and a great role model.
Dont ever come back George, you got nothing to prove to anyone, stay healthy, have a normal life you deserve it! You probably wont get many brain issues as you get older like most fighters because you had such a smart style.

GroundandPoundTV1 I think the anti-drug policy will guarantee that GSP will NOT return to MMA. As much as a likeable guy he is, it is just obvious that hes using PED´s. Remember when Joe Rogan was always saying that GSP look like he is sculptured out of granite? Reason for that is that he is using PED´s. Obviously.

He should come back and take out Robbie for taking out his buddy Rory. That was an amazing fight. Rory broke his foot and got a broken nose n 2nd round and continued on 3 more rounds. True champion spirit.

How is he gonna do that jab lawler, I don't think it works against Lawler. Lawler is far more diverse striker. The only way is he lays on top of Lawler for five rounds. But Lawlers take down defence has improved aswell.

asdffrak1 I would not be worry about his money. He made few millions already. Plus he is 34 now, so let him have some fun instead of constant pressure of upcoming fights and title defenses.IMO if he would ever enter cage he needs to go lightweight, welterweight division is now stack with big monsters and I think he knows it.
I think it's great the George is training for fun and for the pure love of martial arts. A very important thing that nobody is mentioning.
Great interview, GSP always the goat of WW.
GSP is the man!
Very classy, respectful, honest and open guy. Very rare talent and character.
GSP you have earned the title Legendary Sannin i will always remember watching your all your PPVs with a group of my friends here in NYC......... couldn't have been a more Humble Champion and i will teach my kids about you on how a True Martial Artist should be
He's the greatest champion the UFC has ever had. If we take into consideration his record, title defenses, level of competition faced and his representation of the sport outside of the ring - no embarrassing headlines (DUIs, arrests, drug busts, scandals etc.) - there's not a fighter in the brand that tops him. I would like to see him back in the ring, but at the same time I'm happy that he went out on top, with his belt and that he is enjoying his life. Either way - coming back, not coming back - I love the guy and I wish him all the best. He's a tremendous athlete, martial artist and human being. He's just an all around great guy.
Thank you G.S.P. !! for the Inspiration as a Fighter/True Martial Artist, and a Man/Human being !! Your truly a Hero !!
how can you not just love this guy lol
I respect that he stopped his career to focus on his family. He's a good example of true character. Great guy and a champion inside and outside the ring.
Great reasons. No more explanation needed!
He was awesome in Captain America 2.
Do what ever you want gsp enjoy yourself man
GSP is a very smart man always admired him. After this interview again he surprised me. First of all, everything you do, do for fun and smile. It amuses me is the fact that you all fighters the UFC does not know when to stop. Happily ever I want to know GSP personally. I love you man :)
such a humble guy
My favorite fighter of all times such a humble person.
total respect to him... He was just mentally drained after so many years competing.. defo made the right decision
In this context the ad at the begining is hilarious
Haha The commercial before the interview stated that winners never quit and quitters never win. Immediately followed by a winner explaining why he quit haha

Just listin way he talks very smart dude forreal
GSP...a champion with class.
Gotta love GSP one of my favorite UFC fighter and champion. Cool guy overall
People tend to get so serious they stop having a good time even at the high school level. It's nice to see a guy at such an elite level talk about plain and simple fun. If that's what it's about for him, that's awesome.
A Class Act! What the UFC is missing!
All class
I'd loooove to see George come back and fight but i'd rather see him stay healthy. Very few fighters are as well respected as St-Pierre is. I respect him for walking away for his mental health.. I also respect that he always leads with kindness.. #WemissyouGSP
Such a lovely guy: "now i'm back to the fun, which is fun hehe" Made my day
hes a great dude i support whatever he does GOAT
Such a great guy. And it's true when its fun you learn faster. I fairly recent got my black belt in JJ and about three years ago I felt like it was work. I lost the ufn aspect of it. And was goal oriented because i had my brown belt and was one step away from a goal of mine. I then said fuck it and took a break for two weeks, Missed it alot and then came back and had fun again.
GSP makes a great point, the same issue exists in all mma clubs, people join for fun and it is for a period of time, but eventually they try to push you into serious competition, and if you tell them you are doing it just for fun, they will treat you different from that point on. Really sad that the spirit of martial arts is actually dying because of business and money. That is the real problem.
GSP - the greatest fighter ever! You are still missed!
Oh man u don,t realize what you've got until its gone man love gsp hope he comes back but then again why should he come back.....you know there's no real reason for him to compete or anything to achieve At this point just the same as anderson but ay much love GSP GSP GSP!!!!!

Bobilator Realitywall I'm telling you: With Jose Aldo pulling out of that fight and Anderson/Vitor getting caught? I'm starting to wonder what kind of fighters Brazil are producing, oh yeah i forgot Wanderlei... and Palhares, did i forget to mention Bethe Correia? All of them are either users or dickheads. I can't help but love Lyoto though, such a respectful fighter and talented fighter, same with Shogun Rua.
It would be amazing to have him back, but his reasons for leaving and for having a life outside are very respectable. He's earned it 10-fold. There is a time when a master shifts more internally to cultivate that part of himself as well. Be well GSP!
GSP IS AWESOME!
Growing up in Toronto in the late 90's my only Canadian heroes were the Blue Jays Team, fast forward and now I got Captain Canada kicking ass!!!!
His english has gotten very good, he can really express him a lot better than before. Im happy if he retired now but i would be ecstatic if he returned, even if he retires now he's still the greatest UFC fighter ever seeing as Anderson Silva was caught with Performance enhancing drugs.
Good thinking gsp get back soon !
please people give this man love he is a very good person and a very very great champion :)
He was pretty specific. Great reasons to take a break. I wish you the best, George! And hope you meet the right woman for you and raise a nice family :)
gsp is a legend!!
Champion!
I saw him just now at cote des neiges area he was driving his range rover and I think he noticed that I recognized him he was so busy with his phone probably playing poker while driving :)
..As popular as Conor and Ronda will get, they'll never have the respect that GSP has.
come back george!
GSP doesn't like fighters who use performance enhancing drugs. GSP fought Captain America and lost. Coincidence?

greatest champ ever Evan more than silva gsp fought way better fighters and did way more inside and outside retired at only 33 hope he comes back he's the greatest to ever do it in ufc!!
GSP, Fedor and the Diaz brother to Bellator. Big Nog said he'd fight Fedor outside of the UFC. It would be cool to see another organisation with some big names.
GSP Great Champion 🇨🇦
You can clearly tell how intellectual he is. No matter what he says is very well-thought.
the goat speaks
smart answers
Gsp has never been a high risk kind of guy. Typically makes great decisions and taking this kind of time off when he is going from his prime to slightly past his prime would be a bad decision imo. But I've been surprised before. Great fighter, champion, person and wish him the best
정말멋진남자 항상존경해여^^^^
In a french interview awhile back right after he stepped down, he said part of the reason he took a break was because he was worried about his brain health. He was having severe memory lapses.
The smartest and true mixed martial artist ever!
really hope he doesn't wait too long and try to come back when he's over the hill like fedor. he's 34 years old so he can definitely come back within the next year or 2 and probably still have it, but staying out much longer than that won't make for a good return.
when the emperor fedor said that the ufc organization did not treat athletes with respect as human beings he obviously wasnt only mentioning the money issue..gsp is a great man who treats everyone with respect despite how they treated him
GSP seems like a cool dude
George St-Pierre YOU are AMAZING MAN!!! And u can get any women you what... and YOU need to do things which makes u happy... NO ONE IN THIS WORLD WORKED as hard as you did and achieved the things u did.. Remember God is on your side!. So go out and be happy... I will ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU... YOUR #No.1 fan ... Rhonda Hartzenberg! xoxox
GSP one of the best in the world no doubt....
Man i miss GSP fighting.
hé Will Come back
It's sad when you think of the reason GSP started training how to fight. He was bullied and trained to fight back against those types of people. I honestly don't think he is a true fighter meaning that he does not like to fight. He fights because he is good at it, and he can make a comfortable living from that profession. I support and donate to his anti-bully campaign. I am glad that someone like George was able to be the face of the UFC because of who he is and what he stands for. I do not care if he comes back to compete or not, his imprint on the sport and his legacy of anti-violence will be remembered forever.
GSP!
gsp is a cool guy
He should never come back. Will only taint his legacy. Quitting while on the top, is the most respectable end to a career. And he had very good reason to step away from it all. The only UFC Champion with a successful departure, keep it like that. Enjoy the fruits of your labor, GSP. People will remember you as the champ until the end of your days.
im happy for him that he left, maybe because hes doing what he loves again he may come back for a little to see if he's still got it.
If it ever came out that gsp has legit used ped's I would be absolutely devastated. I believe he is clean though, and agree on all his points.
To work as hard as GSP for years and years and then keeping the belt for eight years is insane. He must be so mentally strong it is silly. He could probably be anything he set is mind to do. People often believe that they could, but doing what he did is no joke.
G.S.P Vs Anderson Silva would be a dope PPV Clash Jon Jones at Heavyweight would be cool as well Vs guys like Cain Velasquez Junior Dos Santos,Mark Hunt, Chris Weidman Vs Jon Jones Randy Couture Vs Fedor Bobby Lashley Vs Kimbo would make MMA More Sweet to watch
GSP is the greatest of all time in MMA
If GSP came back now, I'm pretty sure he could still beat Lawlor and take the belt back
I miss GSP!!! GSP vs Lawler!
Man I hope GSP comes back..Would be even better if he brought his buddy (Mr. Razor Elbows) David Loiseau with him.
As the biggest GSP fan ever, I do not believe he will defeat Robbie Lawler. Since Robbie came back, he has been absolutely amazing. GSP is technically and intellectually the better fighter, but Lawler is technical, smart, and extremely ruthless. It's very rare to see a guy who has all three of these traits.

GSP is the GOAT.
GSP = GOAT
Pure instinct but I think gsp got to a point where the competition was using peds and his technique just was enough anymore so he almost felt forced to level the playing field. This most likely haunted him , probably always wished it could go back. I think he kinda blames the sport for his ped use, and truly wants it out of MMA to come back and test himself in a clean environment.
to be a champion you have to be hungry, GSP doesn't look hungry at all....
GSP should just say hes retired until if/when he decides to come back, if you keep saying maybe of course your guna keep getting asked about it and it's been over a year of this indecisiveness from him now its like enough already hes one of the best ever but this is ridiculous
at 5:50 gsp has an expression that reminds me bruce lee a lot ^^
love this guy!😁so does my wife!😰
feels like his English has somewhat improved
Hes one of the best ever - classy and a true gentleman of the sport. However, he did run from new drug testing developments that can track test results from years ago for banned substances - which I do feel hes running scared of.
i hope gsp will not comeback, because i dont want to see him fail and he has proven enough to say he is the best.
. ..this decision winner
I don't think he should come back. only if he truly wants to, but if he has to think about it, then it's an automatic no.
