No such thing as a perfect fighter but I know what you mean, arguably the greatest of all time but there’s definitely holes in his game just like khabib. Even if we programmed a fighter and gave them the best genetics, skills, dedication and gave them the best stand up and the best ground game we still don’t know a lot of techniques. Like when Conor pulled that shoulder strike on Donald Cerrone we had never seen that before in the cage. It’s similar to anything. Like even in sales people who have done it for 20yrs can learn something new, a bricklayer can learn something new after doing it for 40yrs. An old dog can learn new tricks that saying is my least favourite

I love his attitude towards fighting. I am just a hobbyist who trains a few times a week, and I sometimes let my ego get inflated by the fact that I train. At the end of the day though, fighting is not the be all and end all. Honestly, sometimes I chuckle thinking about how silly fighting can be. The UFC definitely inflates the hype. All that being said, I hope to keep training for years to come, simply because it's fun.

There are plenty of super talented fighters (fighters ppl think are more naturally talented) that have gone through GSP’s same camp and failed to come close to what he’s done. He’s successfully convinced ppl he’s not as special as he actually is.

Love that guy. I am into MMA only since it’s all over my feed because I listen to Joe Rogan. GSP is impressive to me in every way. His mind and heart are as strong and stable as his stance when fighting.

“The effect I have on the universe is very small”, I recall his trainer Firas Zahabi saying something very similar.

Damn, his mindset is so positive!

Love how George emphasizes that people don't care and how he put so much pressure on himself. So inspiring from the GOAT

Why is Joe so shocked that GSP understands that the world doesn’t revolve around MMA or fighting in the UFC? Of course he takes it very seriously, it’s his health on the line, but in reality whether you win or lose in competition the world will keep spinning, life will go on and you still go home to your friends and family and the people who actually love and care for you

I thought about it for a bit. Maybe GSP didn't become the best by focusing on being the best in the world, moreso by being the best HE could be when he versed every opponent. And eventually bodies stacked up and he's on top of them all.

Could listen to this 2 talk for days

How can you not love this guy? I hope he does not fight again... I just want his legacy to be preserved forever.

love gsp what a down to earth and honest guy humble

"they don't care, they don't care you know the effect that I have on the universe is so freakin small nobody cares I'm the only one putting the pressure on me nobody gives a damn about it" Really wise words. We've heard the same gist before, but the way GSP says it is very simple and makes sense.

spitting wisdom. GOAT.

Im 25 now an have been watching the ufc more than any sport since i was a kid or a young teen. I went from very much not likeing G.S.P. to by the time i was 18 or 19 when i think he was comeing close to the end of his career i started to respect him a bit. An now i honestly at 25 think this guy is an honest beast/legend/hall of famer in my book an deserves alot of respect.

And it's such a good joke, a self-deprecating one.

3:45 I can definitely relate to that. I literally dropped out of high school and quit competing for like 5 years just running from my anxiety, but of course it only made stuff much worse. The only thing that finally helped was realizing how selfish that mindset was, the world does not revolve around me or any individual. Yeah some people in life show support and others even show some hate or doubt, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter to them.

GSP is so full of wisdom. There's always something new to learn when he talks.

He has a great philosophy towards fighting. I can understand why he puts so much pressure on himself to be perfect because of his OCD, but the mindset of taking the fight too seriously can be too mentally exhausting.

Here at last is a man with the mind of a general and the heart of a poet! Always fun to hear Georges talk about his career and his worldview in general.

This guy is so wise, not only as a fighter but as a person.

Even to him as a martial artist, there is more to life then just fighting. Very healthy mindset right there. Probably that's why he's so good

Every coach , wrestling and boxing and mma should show this video to their students .

GSP is a world class athlete and a fantastic human being.

I love what he said "you zigged when you should've zagged"

I remember reading "Infinite Jest" by David foster Wallace, and one of the most comforting quotes in the book was along the lines of; " think of how often you think about your best friend... its not very often is it?" "Now think about the most embarrassing thing your best friend has ever done... when was the last time you ever thought of it? Yer a long time ago and not very often." so dont worry about what other people think your best friend barley even thinks about you, your free relax.

GSP was one of the greatest guests every on the podcast, and he wasn’t even speaking his native language
