Den tidigare welterviktsmästaren, Georges St. Pierre, fick utstå en del kritik i sin karriär då han inte lyckades avsluta sina motståndare. St. Pierre lovar dock att han är en ny typ av fighter där han kommer bryta ned sina motståndare och avsluta dem. Genom MMAFighting sade St. Pierre följande.
I’ve trained a lot of things. I’m gonna be more there to hurt guys and to go for the finish. To submit, to break. To go for the break. To go for the knockout or go for the break if i have a submission. Until he taps. I’m gonna be more opportunistic.
St. Pierre sade att han i ”slutet” av sin karriär var mer tillbakadragen i sina matcher när han visste att han var på väg att vinna.
If he doesn’t open up, you keep doing what you do well to win the fight. You’re winning, so you don’t necessarily change.
Men den inställning menar St. Pierre att han längre inte har utan kommer ta fler risker.
They were accepting the defeat. They knew they were going to lose before the end of the fight. They were fighting to not get beat up too much instead of fighting to win. On my side, I was fighting to win, but it’s hard. You know that if you’re exposing yourself [to] useless openings, [you can] get beat up.
Vidare berättade Pierre om den tilltänkta matchen mot Michael Bisping.
It will be tough. Michael is a very courageous man. He always comes forward. He never backs down. Mentally, he’s very tough. I made my training to be more opportunistic. To be more angry on the finish.
