Georges St-Pierre is an MMA legend and one of the all-time greats. 26-2 with all losses avenged in convincing fashion, a four-time world champion across four weight classes at a time of tough competition. In 2013, GSP retired at the top, setting records for the most wins in championship fights and the second-longest title reign in UFC history at 2,204 days, with nine straight defenses.
He made a comeback in 2017, where he defeated Michael Bisping by submission, winning the middleweight title and becoming one of only four UFC fighters to win championships in different weight classes. What made GSP stand out so much from the rest of the competition? Of course, he had the basic prerequisites of elite competition, such as work ethic, athleticism, and fight IQ.
Additionally, he was the poster boy of a well-rounded fighter. He could wrestle like a wrestler, box like a boxer, kick like a karate competitor, and grapple like a black belt. He could do all of it. In my view, he was probably the first MMA fighter who lived up to the term ‘’well-rounded.’’
There is one department where he stood out tremendously from the rest of the competition. And that was his ability to seek out the right expertise. Combine this with the fact that he has an extremely curious and coachable personality, and athletes like those become like sponges, just soaking up knowledge and guidance. Always reading, always studying, and always asking questions. It is a form of philosophical approach to training that is very rare.
To improve his wrestling, he worked with Olympic medalist wrestlers and coaches; to improve his boxing, he worked with legendary trainers like Freddy Roach and Howard Grant. For his BJJ, he worked with John Danaher, Bruno Fernandes, and Renzo Gracie. And all of those attributes were further harmonized by his head coach in MMA, Firas Zahabi.
And this mentality of seeking out the best and coachability was not only exclusive to the skill aspect of MMA; he was equally curious and well-rounded in the strength and conditioning aspects as well.
In this video, we will go through some of his methods.
