Georges St. Pierre Talks UFC 100 Fight with Thiago Alves
PDG: Are you using the same trainers/team for this fight?
GSP: I always bring someone in but its most of the same people with me. I did bring a couple of guys out from Paris, some Muay Thai specialists. I also have many guys who came in town recently – John Danaher from New York came for my jiu-jitsu – he showed me some amazing stuff that I will be able to use. I also work with Jean-Charles Skarbowsky, who’s a legend in Muay Thai who spent most of his life in Thailand. He came with two of his top students, and he showed me a bunch of stuff in Muay Thai that I’ll also be able to use during my fight. And the fact that he came with two of his top students – it give me a good idea of what a world-class Muay Thai fighter is and it’s gonna help me gauge the speed and the power of a real Muay Thai guy.
I also have some friends from New York – Steven Williams came and helped me train for the fight as well. He’s an amazing fighter and he joined the group, you know, in Montreal and helped me out very much to prepare me for the fight. I also have a bunch of guys that flew up here recently like Nate Marquardt and they’re going to help me get prepared as much as I can for this fight.
PDG: How do you maintain a positive mental attitude with all the press and news stories?
GSP: I do a lot of positive imagery. I see myself winning. I see myself getting out of certain bad positions, etc. I think it’s very underrated.
