Look Out - Georges St. Pierre Is Bigger, Faster and Stronger Than Ever

[MindSpin]

I want to take him out. I want to finish him, but when you look for the knockout sometimes it doesn稚 come, so I have to be smart. I知 going to have to fight my fight and take him out of his comfort zone, and by doing so he is going to make a mistake. The fight will end when he makes his first mistake.

I see fighting like a mathematics problem. When you have a mathematics problem you have a formula that you use to solve the problem. Dan Hardy is a problem, and I知 going to have to figure out which formula I知 going to use during the fight to solve the problem and that痴 how it is... I think it痴 also a question of statistics. If I fight against his strengths, my chances of winning diminish. If I fight against his weaknesses, my chances of winning go up.

Right now I知 about 190lbs. I知 bigger and I知 getting even bigger than I was, more powerful, and more explosive. I hit much harder. We have been working on a lot of different stuff to make me hit harder and to give me more power on my strikes. It痴 going to change a lot of things.

I知 not satisfied about my ratio of knockouts. I have knockouts, but I want to bring my ratio up. I知 more powerful than I was, and by being more powerful I知 faster as well. Power is strength and speed together.

Georges St Pierre Is Too Good to Spar With Welterweights

Heavy.com: How is Georges progressing preparing for Hardy.  Is his health where it should be?

Firas Zahabi:  It's getting scary.  Georges is getting better and better, believe it or not.  If I compare him to last year he is far beyond where he was. He's a very scary individual.  I can't even put him in with anybody his size.  I have to bring in guys who are much bigger, much stronger.  I had Nate Marquardt and Rashad Evans come in last week to challenge Georges.  It's getting very tricky now.  I can't put him with another welterweight because there is no other welterweight right now I can bring in who can make Georges sweat.  We're looking to bring in Gegard Mousasi who is at 205 to work with Georges.  I'm reaching out for big, strong guys to challenge him.

Heavy.com: This problem has been growing for some time.  I remember Rashad Evans saying awhile ago that he had trouble putting Georges on his back.  And he's a 205 pound guy.

Firas Zahabi: I can count on one hand the times we've seen Georges on his back.  The times he is on his back, I usually force him to go on his back.  Sometimes when we do situational sparring I'll start him there, because otherwise he doesn't see much time on his back.  I want to make sure he has no weaknesses because you never know what will happen in a fight.
