15 Questions for Georges St. Pierre
Sherdog: For your money, who is the best mixed martial artist in the world today? And you can’t vote for yourself.
St. Pierre: I would not say myself. I would vote for Fedor Emelianenko. I think number one would be Fedor Emelianenko, and Anderson Silva would be number two and Lyoto Machida is very good too.
Sherdog: Who has had the biggest influence on you in your fight career?
St. Pierre: Royce Gracie. He is the one that really inspired me in the beginning to do what I do for a living. He dominated his time. When he fought in MMA, he dominated his time like nobody ever else had before. And for me, he is a pioneer of the sport and he was the first guy that I saw fight and he really inspired me.
Sherdog: I take it the first Matt Serra fight was the lowest point in your professional career. What are some of the things you learned about yourself after that loss?
St. Pierre: I learned that no matter how great of a fighter you are, no matter how great of a champion you are and no matter how many people tell you how great you are … you are only one fight from losing the title.
