Georges St-Pierre and former Montreal Canadiens forward Georges Laraque appeared on Off the Record with Michael Landsberg on Wednesday, and the two friends accepted a mutual challenge to face off in grappling match. The bout will take place at St-Pierre’s Tristar gym in Montreal, and will be shown on Friday’s edition of Off The Record, at 6pm et/3pm pt on TSN.
“First we will do a wrestling match, because he believes that he is going to be able to put me down at will, and I believe that I am going to be able to put him down at will,” explained St-Pierre.
“On the ice I would never go against him, he’s going to beat me and I agree with that 100 percent, but on the floor I have no problem,” GSP added.
St-Pierre currently weighs 190 pounds, while Laraque tips the scales at 270 pounds.
“I think because of the weight difference he’s going to have a hard time,” said Laraque. “I want to pick him up and body slam him.”
“The problem is Georges believes I am like a tomato can you can grab at the supermarket and you can lift it and do what you want,” remarked St-Pierre “He’s going to find out that it’s not that easy.”
