Georges St-Pierre has heard people’s gripes that he doesn’t finish enough fights. And one of the best MMA fighters to ever grace the cage isn’t just OK with them.

I agree with the criticism, St-Pierre told The Post by phone Wednesday. I want to do better. I want to give more entertainment to the fans.

’Ive been training to jump more on opportunites that are open to me, St-Pierre said. I’m still gonna fight my fight, but I’m going to be more opportunistic.

St-Pierre, 31, says it bothers him that people keep talking about a potential fight between him and pound-for-pound king Anderson Silva. Silva’s camp has repeatedly harped on that fight sometime next year and UFC president Dana White said it is a real possibility if St-Pierre beats Condit.

I hate that, St-Pierre said. They talk to me about the next fight and I’m not there. Like I’m supposed to win easy, like it’s a joke. Carlos Condit is a dangerous guy. I always respect my opponent. My life is on the line.
