GSP has stated that Sakuraba is on his Top 5 Favorite Fighters list, and you can really understand why when listening to this interview. Saku's entire game plan was literally "move more efficiently than the other guy and use your skills to neutralize him," it's really cool to hear GSP talk about this since he doesn't speak much about his influences.

What GSP says about efficiency makes total sense, what a great fighter and great guy.

“Efficiency” and “Neutralizing you’re opponent” gsp describing his style perfectly

strong, smart, and charismatic. no wonder he's so loved.

George is such a class act. An incredible world class athlete but never full of himself. Hopefully he has been smart with the money he has made and can leave the octagon with his health and mental facilities in good working order.

I've seen GSP do S&C work with Jonathan Chaimberg in 2008/2009 you can find it on youtube yourself. He does numerous strength work coupled with power endurance.

efficiency is important but strenght and cardio aren't expressed in just 0 and 1, both are gradable characteristics. And having them on elite level can never hurt you

GSP is actually right,as far as fighting is concerned,the only thing matter is whether or not you have good strength to bodyweight ratio for your weight class and good stamina and conditioning,lifting weights are not as much necessary,aso,if you are fighting and sparring hard everyday for an year,that and heavy bag hitting alone conditions you to the max,the most important thing is how well can you fight and how good are your fight specific skills,aggression,quickness,striking skills and reflexes.

TheAlexmercer360 As a boxer I stopped hitting bags because of impact injuries. I moved to only sparring once a week and all my training efforts were focused on dynamic styled training that was very similar to fighting. All of my strength and conditioning came from my general training. I also cross trained with cycling, sprinting, swimming, tennis, Yoga and hill walking. While all of my club mates done the routine sparring everyday, running for miles and miles, lots of weights, tonnes of bag work and their routine circuits. Guess what I rarely got injuries and my recovery time post fight was very rapid were I could almost go to full training straight after a fight. I could even train on the day of a fight without any effect to my performance.

The weight class thing is so relevant to Roy Jones Jr's career. After he went up to heavyweight and came back down he wasn't the same fighter.

Justin Granville he says he does it for looks ...

Always a pleasure to watch GSP talk, and Joe Rogan for that matter. 2 guys who make sense.

He does olympic rings. I saw a video on one of his losses, he focused on body recomposition and built a lot of muscle. Olympic rings are more functional than regular barbell/dumbell training. Just look at the shoulders and chest of any olympian who works with olympic rings.

I love his honesty, genuinity and how he's in a way naive.

It's fine if he doesn't subscribe to the "traditional" tenets of fitness routines, everyone does their own thing, and the results speak for themselves. Within the confines of professional competition and the rules and goals that entails, the man's an undeniable pro and knows what he's doing and how to do it. I simply think this may have been somewhat lost in phrasing / intent is all; I would be _very_ surprised if GSP honestly believed that strength training had no meaningful impact on strength output (under certain circumstances, of course), or that cardio and condition training regimes had no meaningful impact on longevity and efficiency over prolonged physical exertion. Hell, he might do those things purely for cosmetic purposes, but look at the guy, he's not exactly sitting his ass on the couch all week. What I do _really_ appreciate is the man's focus on efficiency of self and maintaining his health, and I would think that a number of athletes in high-demand sport performances (looking at you, NFL) could respect that when they start hitting their 30s, and especially their 40s, never mind their 50s when their knees and spines are blasted. Peak human outputs are _phenomenal_ to witness, and they truly inspire the imagination and can encourage others to better themselves to try and reach such a goal, but past the PR, past the "no limits" slogans and bravado, understanding that the human machine has its breaking points that, while they can be tempered and pushed and even bent, will eventually break without proper care and understanding. Ideally, you would have it all: precise exercise to maintain and improve sport-relevant activities, maintaining sharp senses and intelligence and precision to apply that strength, the physical and mental condition and fortitude to persist through a full session _and_ respecting the limitations of what your body in its current condition is capable of withstanding. Easier said than done, sure, but take an "efficient" MMA fighter who _never_ tempers, let alone maintains their strength output and pit them against another "efficient" MMO fighter who has strength training, whether a specific exercise or an adequate substitute, as part of his complete pre-fight routine, while there's a _chance_ the no-strength fighter can stick it, he's fighting at a serious disadvantage.

He really is the goat and after Ruiz beat Joshua what he said about conditioning and efficiency makes so much sense

"I don't need to do strength and conditioning. I am strong and fast." - GSP

This makes no sense. I understand what he was saying about efficiency but to say that doing strength and conditioning doesn't matter is bogus. Its been proven of how a fighter can be highly talented but if they're strength and/or conditioning isn't together its the cause of their loss. BJ Penn comes to mind. He was such a talented fighter but his cardio and conditioning was usually off. However, when he worked on his cardio and conditioning he was on top of his game.

@pranakhan

9 жыл бұрын

Dan Zena I think what he is trying to say is that efficiency dictates the focus of your training. There is a maximum level of strength & conditioning necessary to compete at the highest level, but beyond that there are diminishing returns. Some fighters may focus more on the athleticism aspect, hoping that their physicality will overcome their opponents tactics & martial skill. GSP is in the other camp, believing that a greater focus on technique and martial art training is the deciding factor. I think the important thing to take away for both ideologies is to find a balance between the two in the beginning, but to gravitate more to the martial arts training over time as your body & mind mature into the sport.

+Dan Zena Oh there are different kinds of conditioning for different things. I guarantee you that if you made an Olympic marathon runner try to race against an Olympic swimmer in a 2 mile swim, the runner would look foolish. The same is true in the reverse case scenario too. Both athletes have great cardio, but the muscle movements and usage are totally different. You can definitely make yourself more efficient at different physical activities. I have seen elite college wrestlers completely gas themselves hitting thai pads for like, 2 rounds while my 45 year old muay thai coach is still just as fresh as can be. Its just a different animal. I don't think that GSP is saying that strength and conditioning "doesn't matter". I think he is trying to say that weight based strength training doesn't make you a great fighter, and he only lifts weights to look cut. Whether GSP realizes it or not, he does train is strength and conditioning just by sparring and throwing his partners to the ground. I think he is saying that being more efficient in your fighting movements and breathing is also very important. BJ Penn was an odd case. He was talented enough to even fight with Lyoto Machida who was much bigger than him. I think he just got cozy and lazy in Hawaii. I heard that he barely went on any runs in training. His last fight with Edgar was just depressing.

@rudyg6922

+Dan Zena Nah i agree with Georges, you have a base line amount due to training for rounds or training till the timer sounds off, there is conditioning in your work outs. BUT when you go into a fight fresh with that endurance, its up to you how comfortable and relaxed you are, how much energy youre putting into every punch. I train with guys who can go for rounds and not breath heavy but its because theyre barely using any energy because theyve been there done that and know when theyre safe and know how to stay comfortable under pressure. Its when you lose yourself and your body starts overreacting that you start to gas out. Also you can overreact without even moving and lose the maximum amount of energy almost doing nothing at all just because youre in that fight or flight "im in danger" anxiety state.

Every one of his videos. I learn something new

So humble and so true about literally every George said

My favorite fighter of all time! Not just in the octagon but out if it as well! Hes a real wise man.

GSP was spot on when you gain alot of weight and move up a weight class your reaction time dwindles for example look at mcgregor at 170 he was alot slower and flat footed his reactions where also slower but at 145 and 155 he slides in and out effortlessly and he's on point it makes a huge difference with that extra weight !!!!!

I was cracking up when he said "I'm ganna admyt iyt". Heavy Montreal french accent. lol.

he certainly has backed up his words . gotta love the guy

Something was lost in translation about the S&C but gsp really might be the GOAT best ever at 170 and the lineal middle weight champ

***** No. He's quite clear that he doesn't do weightlifting. Marcelo Garcia (BJJ world champion) says exactly the same thing. For every hour you spend lifting weights, you're losing an hour from getting better at fighting. Every time you tire yourself out lifting weights, you're wasting energy you could be using to improve your fighting. The efficiency he's talking about is the efficiency of fighty movements. The more skilled you are at throwing a kick, the more efficient you are and so the better you are. So why waste time lifting weights when it won't help your efficiency?! Instead you should spend your time becoming more efficient at fighting. Simple.

He said he doesn't do strength an conditioning. He said it just like that . Exact words.

Dude GSP is the man but you gotta Lift Breh

Agree or not, love his frankness

I'm a big fan of both of these guys. GSP has class.

Am I missing something, or is it in fact the case when GSP walks into the cage he is indeed 185 if not more, so the speed thing would be out the window? He is known for handling bigger opponents in sparring and friendly challenges in the gym with people from all walks of life. Imagine what he could've done to Anderson Silva when you see what Nick was able to do and Nick is at best half the athlete fighter that GSP is. He is worth so much to the UFC that whatever they are denying him in terms of negotiations we all know he is worth twice that amount and respect. GSP fighting before this year is over would be awesome for all involved.

Everyone here hatin on Ido. The dude is a super fucking athlete.

+Arm Collector wasn't speaking of GSP. And if he isn't an athlete, what is he? Fighting is a sport, albeit a bad ass one that takes an enormous mental aspect

Such a cool guy

George, just a great guy.

either this guy biggest troll, head game specialist or he figured out new way train...

"I don't do strength training" "I lift weights for looks" Am I missing something or is he completely contradicting himself?

strength comes with lifting but you can do light weights to cut and look good

He doesn't do strength and conditioning? Reminds me of the stories with models taking selfies of them with a cheeseburger and fries.....which they never eat. Complete bs.

+xpat73 not necessarily, GSP is completely clean, no alcohol, no drugs, no extra sugars or fats, plus he is a natural athlete, you combine those things and you have an amazing fighter, that's why many fighters now don't have the best body type in the world, cormier is chubby, but is still a good fighter, same with Mark hunt, physical training can help, but is not necessary, and depending on who you are, it may not affect you at all

Guys u misunderstood him. Of course he does strength and conditioning but he just always trains as he wants he doesn't believe that doing some extra exercises help he just thinks that training as you always do is better

Holy shit, powerful video
