“If I wanted to, I could fight at lightweight as well. Easy. Easy,” said St-Pierre, as transcribed by Shaun Al-Shatti for MMA Fighting.
“I’m not a big welterweight,” said St-Pierre, who is 5′ 10″. “I walk around 187. I’m 186, 187 when I wake up in the morning, and I could easily make it [with] a diet, because a lot of lightweights are bigger than me. Welterweight, I don’t even talk about it because most of them are bigger than me, of course, and middleweight, they’re much bigger than me. But it’s not really about size. It’s about skills.”
