I've always respected GSP's search for truth and logic behind his thoughts and his ability to remove his emotions from it. Critical analysis is something that is super lacking in people these days.
You should takr what he says for granted. Older guys tend to get lazy and all relaxy when they are not hungry anymore. Going all out and reaching beyond your limits every single day is a valiable strategy also. I admire the latter more.
God gave me these four steps via divine revelation. He said anyone who does all four are guaranteed a divine revelation of their own. They are the mustard seed of Faith, the bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself to you personally. Believe or not, do for yourself and see. Forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in these steps. Every one is important, and it's the least God accepts. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. I'm not talking about signs, feelings, etc, but am honest to goodness one on one conversation with God. An actual meeting. Unmistakable, and unable to be misinterpretaed. He told me that he's guaranteed the steps to work 100%. You just need to do them guininly. It's not hard. Do those steps in that order please. It's all True. I promise.
I am a Quebecois like him and for us being humble is very important ... somebody who brags is put down very quickly... it’s the job of other to tell you your great if you are ... a trump can never happen in Quebec for that reason.
@@anonimus648 it was a slight typo. I meant to say "one of the GOAT". Even as it's written I'll own it and say this. GSP is in the GOAT discussion and from my perspective it's either GSP or Fedor Emelianenko. Either of the two have accolades unmatched in the sport. We can throw in Anderson Silva to that discussion too.
The raw truth is that men like GSP will be successful no matter what they do. They approach life and sport with a playfulness a curiosity and in the end, laser-sharp focus.
Beyond that tho, the way guys like GSP and Khabib treated their bodies like temples. Never rlly drank, never smoke, eating annoyingly healthy food. That all makes a difference in the end and separates great fighters from the greatest of all time
@@anomitas Jon Jones is a freak of nature and a steroids abuser. He's a genius and a genetic freak that ALSO did steroids 😭 It's no wonder why he's one of the greatest
I got into martial arts 18 years ago, when UFC was big but not at today's level (not even close) and I still remember when GSP showed up on the scene. I was mesmerised then and I always will be. A freaking legend.
Agreed. He had that "it" factor. It's weird to think he was just a karate guy, and became one of the best wrestlers in history. People don't even remember that Matt Hughes was considered the greatest Welter Weight all-time before GSP. I wish he would've gotten that Khabib fight to settle it. That would've been insane!
@@Danielson1818 His evolution as a fighter in the UFC is honestly amazing. He was finishing lots of guys in his earlier career, but after his loss to Matt Serra he adapted a much safer style. He's so well-rounded too. He has absolutely no holes in his game. Lots of fans say Khabib was better that GSP because he was undefeated, but that has nothing to do with skill. Khabib has gotten rocked plenty of times but can rely on his granite chin. GSP doesn't have a great chin and bruises like a tomato and he still managed to go 21-2 in the UFC
@@benlewis5312 Any old MMA fan knows that GSP faced tougher competition. Not taking anything away from Khabib, but that that record is totally different guys. I remember when it was teased to have Conor vs GSP, and I literally laughed about it. Khabib vs GSP is a real fight. Don't get me started about bruises. I've kicked the crap out of guys, and still had more marks on me. That is just genetic. It means nothing about winning the fight.
@@Danielson1818 i agree that the khabib fight would have been mesmerising to watch, but like gsp said he knew when it was time to hang up the gloves, im sure gsp still has it but he's way out of his prime so it wouldn't have been as competitive as we all whish
For those interested in Truth: I'm sure you've wondered if Heaven/Hell are real. This world seems so curropt sometimes, it's as if justice is a lie, and the bad are more often rewarded. I know it can be hard to accept that God is real, especially when it seems like all evidence points in the opposite direction. You'll never find physical evidence, no scientist is going to prove God, our universe isn't set up that way. However, there actually is a way to find him for yourself. God has given me four simple steps, via divine revelation, he's told me anyone who does them genuinely is gureenteed a revelation of their own. As it turns out these steps are scattered throughout the Bible, but for so many it's only a paper weight, so they never find them, and never get their personal revelation. These steps are the mustard seed of Faith God wants to see from us. The bare minimum amount of effort he's willing to accept before he reveals himself. God steamlined these steps for me to spread, because we're at the end. Nigh was decades ago. These steps are the absolute lowest he's willing to accept, and also the order is very important. They are, forgive your parents, break down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. Three books of the bible will be enough to get the revelation at step four. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. To be forgiven we must forgive. It's all over the Bible, both new, and old. Jesus teaches this lesson himself via parable in Mathew, but if you're not willing to search for that lesson, just read Mathew 6 14-15. We're supposed to forgive everyone, but because God knows that's hard, he makes the bare minimum forgiving your parents, because they've fed, clothed, housed, raised, loved you to some degree, and should be the easiest to forgive. Forgiveness is a huge step, and it trips up most people. Churches barley even bother to teach it's importance. Even though the Bible makes it extremely clear you cannot be saved until you do. Everyone has issues with their parents, it is for this reason, so you have someone easy to forgive. It can be harder if you have horrible parents, but just try, God will notice your efforts. This step coming first is extremely important, it basically primes your soul, gets God's attention. The order is like baking a cake. If you bake unmixed eggs, and flour, no cake. Since you can't be forgiven until you forgive, most people mess this up. Thinking falsely that asking for forgiveness is enough. It is not. The next biggest trip up is one of the worst in my opinion, actually reading the Bible for yourself. It is a necessity. God uses the time you spend reading to show you who he is, and give you important signs. Church is not enough. It's really only for community, and helping each other anyway. The denomination does not matter at all, as long as you're following what's written yourself. Although Catholics have a unique problem, in the fact that the church promotes the worship/prayer to saints. This is idolatry. The only way to the Father is though Jesus Christ. Saint Paul may have been a good person, but praying to him will lead you to Hell. I can state with absolute certainty that these steps work every time, when done with a genuine heart. It's not hard, just mean the steps when you do them. Testing God only makes him hide himself. Please, take your salvation seriously. Once you've done these four steps, God reveals himself. It won't be anything you can miss, nor misinterpretae, not signs, not feelings, but an actual one on one conversation with God. He gives you so many secrets then. Along with all the proof you'll ever need. Faith is the path to God, but once you've found him his existence should be knowledge. Faith is still extremely important, but more so in trusting his plan. Please, do these steps for yourself. Each must walk his own journey. Nobody else can get you into Heaven. I'm so serious. It's all real. See for yourself.
@@dasbakonhe's not a bum, a random troll just doing troll things. I in contrast tell ppl or fighters the realities of combat. Life is not good as a broke fighter, almost living like a homeless guy.

@@fishersteven8900 oh I know. He still won tho. Also George the lizard was on super steroids that he was getting from fucking extra terrestrial beings during that same fight....so he just lost steroids or not
I've never understood going full blast in the gym all the time. How long do you think you can keep that up? 'I've seen so many guys leave their career in the gym.' GSP
@@glitchinthematrix555 exactly... There's always "that guy" that hits 80% when "light sparring" or throws hard head kicks at less experienced guys... Just disgusting
Find another dream. My dreams is to become the best fighter that I can become and that is achieveable. Do it for yourself and your loved once (being able to protect them and yourself) and have fun
I'm currently in my mid 20s, been training for a decade to one day be pro and champion, in addition already working my career job. If I ever get the opportunity, I will fight professionally, and once I retire, I'll go back to my career job.
My favorite fighter of all time, humbleness is real, nothing fake here. Real champion, 2 losses, both avenged in dominating style. Champion 2 differ weight classes, the best, and fought the best from an era that would pummel today's fighters.
Hearing GSP speak is like hearing a grandfather give his own wisdom down to his grandchildren. He's such a humble guy and one of my favorite fighters of all time and not just b/c he's a legendary athlete but because of how humble he is. I always wanted Anderson Silva and GSP fight in a superfight but it's a good thing they didn't b/c they are just two old dogs
It's a shame that there is a generation of fight fans that have only "heard" of GSPs greatness, and didn't get to watch it in real time. He is a treasure to this sport and is an example of what every fighter (and person) should aspire towards. The only person that comes close in skill and character is Khabib.
Charles Oliveira too. Islam today is better than Khabib as an all-round MMA fighter. Khabib was great but he retired in his prime and as a result others have overtaken him.
It was one of the best times of my life being a GSP die hard and watching his career. Attended two live fights in Montreal….those were amazing times and I’ll never forgot. To this day, I don’t think I’ll ever experience a live sporting event like UFC 65 in Montreal GSP Serra 2. The atmosphere in there was incredible.
@@ctesociety9552 he should let a young guy do it that needs a career. Joe is asleep even in live gates. Leg Kicks seem to wake him up the most but all the other stuff he is stoned
@@Gem-Ex what does joe rogan actually do, he just waits for leg kicks then says OMG he 's hurt this fight could end! then the figther that was leg kicked knocks the dude out. He might have gotten lucky on sean omalley and connor lol
Can't help but need to comment that this podcast was epic. GSP is so smart and such a great philosopher being so young.. Its scary how good he will be at 50, his mind and thoughts are so powerful
i always tell my sparring partners to go easy and they always think i'm scared, but i'm just trying to get the most out of my sparring without losing my brain cells.
That makes so much sense. I've been both types that he described while sparring, and I sparred against both types. Seeing the champ explain it like that, makes me wish I listened to this advice earlier in life
One of you fifty people that have seen or heard the original audio of Brendan and JRE, explain to me how this conversation is similar in any way, shape or form. Holy cow.
@@BM-wf9uf True, but he wouldn't have listened, because he's not close to him. That's why it meant so much when Joe said it. He's his friend, so he knows it's coming from a genuine place.
@@dbeck82 GSP says in the beginning of the video that he would tell his close friends when it's time to stop competing in fights because they dont have what it takes. Which is exactly what Joe did with Brendan.
Gsp will remain one of the greatest ever for a long long time in my opinion. He is going to continue to be an amazing character and I think one day he will be as inspirational as some of the greatest ever to go down in other sports, especially for Canadians.
Someone would have to clean out an entire division. Move up a division beat the champion. Not test positive while doing. Leave an influence on the game. It's kinda impossible to reach this guy.
He always has been an elite martial artist; but he is now transitioning into a philosopher of martial arts. And he's already starting to be invited to do small roles in movies (he appeared in the WINTER SOLDIER and now he's in FALCON & WINTER SOLDIER), too, so he could even become a big, famous action actor (Jean Claude, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan et al) some day, given his extraordinary skills in MMA.
I remember not being a huge fan of GSP when started becoming big, but not because of who he was, but because I was just a big Matt Hughes guy. However, that quickly changed. GSP is such a humble, respectful, and driven fighter he sits at the top of my 'goat' list. Just a great dude
I really want someone to make a compilation of the philosophical nature of MMA explained by great fighters like GSP and others. Everyone is just focused on the trash talking but ignores the philosophical aspects on it.
God I loved fighting when I was younger (18-27), never started one but finished them all. I couldn't do it for sport though, I love my career lol and respect all those along with GSP for stepping in the octagon. Takes grit and heart and that's what I love about this sport. It's real with all the emotion
This is great advice not just for young people pursuing MMA as a career but for young people who are pursuing any professional athletic career in the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Statistically the vast majority of people don’t have what it takes to play their sport at the elite professional level (UFC, NHL, NFL, etc.) and it can be a hard truth to arrive at the especially when you’ve been doing your sport your whole life, like for me it was swimming.
53 seconds in. This is the second clip of GSP's I have watched and it's time and it's absolute gold. I have to listen to the whole thing, now. I have to listen to this man. 😂
As a martial artist I always have that dream of being a champion or some kind of action star. After hearing this, just being able to "play around" with a legend like GSP seems to be the highest honour I want now.
@@IGoz-gm8ld I'm a Barcelona fan and a big Messi fan. Watching the game you'll become a Messi fan because of the things he does on the pitch. But when you grow older you'll realize you Ronaldo is a bigger personality on and off the pitch. The man's a leader, outworks everyone, does a lot of charity etc. Also had a lot of difficulties growing up. Messi really has 0 personality.
"In most of my fight when I went to decision"... at first I thought GSP was acknowledging he was a decision machine but he was talking about how in most decision fights he could see the guy breaking.
Like he said not fun for the fans but ik makes sense. Why take the risk if you're winning. Also we know he CAN finish flights cause he did many times. But here he basically confirms that he simply didn't want to if it wasn't necessary.
This is great advice for any sport with just playing around and not acting like it’s life or death, I’ve been playing soccer for 12 years and I’ve always found that I improve the most when I’m just playing with my little brothers in the yard because I would play with them like everyday and for hours on end, it allows you to be creative and try things that you wouldn’t otherwise try in a actual match like he said, great advice
GSP is the perfect representative of martial arts, not because of his record and accomplishments only but because of his wisdom and humility.
Well said
but mostly because of his accomplishments
Such a great ambassador and champion of the sport. Well said
Jake Paul is the next in line.

Especially Michael Johnson
I've never understood going full blast in the gym all the time. How long do you think you can keep that up? 'I've seen so many guys leave their career in the gym.' GSP

4:35 the way he hesitantly said "I am world champion" showed how humble he is.
Dude could have been a sexual icon with that hair but he sacrificed all that that to focus on fighting. True legend.
Kinda gay

Lmao funny comment
he gave alot of insight on things fighters don't usually talk about, appreciate this honesty and humility
Hardest part of being an athlete is giving up the dream
But also realizing that’s ok in the end
Find another dream. My dreams is to become the best fighter that I can become and that is achieveable. Do it for yourself and your loved once (being able to protect them and yourself) and have fun
“He’s not fighting to win anymore... he’s fighting to not lose.” One of the best quotes ever!
When one of the greatest gives you advice, you best listen.
What if two or three who can be considered the greatest in their fields tell you a completely conflicting advice?
@@Woodsaras you analyze both of them throughly and ask yourself what is best for you. You must me real with the situation and be honest with yourself
I'm currently in my mid 20s, been training for a decade to one day be pro and champion, in addition already working my career job. If I ever get the opportunity, I will fight professionally, and once I retire, I'll go back to my career job.
Keep doing what u love ,follow ur dreams that’s exactly the same plan I want to follow .Hope u succeed!
I wish you the best
Things will go your way! 🕊
How are you doing now brother ?
I really hope the best for you
This is one of the most impressive human being by far. What a great example he sets, thank you GSP!
GSP is the epitome of a true martial artist who just happens to be one of the greatest fighters in the history of MMA.
When GSP said some fighters spar too hard and fail their careers - Darren Till felt that :D
My favorite fighter of all time, humbleness is real, nothing fake here. Real champion, 2 losses, both avenged in dominating style. Champion 2 differ weight classes, the best, and fought the best from an era that would pummel today's fighters.
Hearing GSP speak is like hearing a grandfather give his own wisdom down to his grandchildren. He's such a humble guy and one of my favorite fighters of all time and not just b/c he's a legendary athlete but because of how humble he is. I always wanted Anderson Silva and GSP fight in a superfight but it's a good thing they didn't b/c they are just two old dogs
GSP is the epitome of what a martial artist should be. 🐐 🐐

George has said before to stay in school and finish it. Always have a back up plan if the fight game isn't for you.
Its smart advice for anyone.
It's a shame that there is a generation of fight fans that have only "heard" of GSPs greatness, and didn't get to watch it in real time. He is a treasure to this sport and is an example of what every fighter (and person) should aspire towards. The only person that comes close in skill and character is Khabib.
Charles Oliveira too. Islam today is better than Khabib as an all-round MMA fighter. Khabib was great but he retired in his prime and as a result others have overtaken him.
It was one of the best times of my life being a GSP die hard and watching his career. Attended two live fights in Montreal….those were amazing times and I’ll never forgot.
To this day, I don’t think I’ll ever experience a live sporting event like UFC 65 in Montreal GSP Serra 2. The atmosphere in there was incredible.
I could listen to GSP talk about MMA all day, the guy is so intelligent.
George is just such a nice guy I have so much respect for him even outside of his MMA career because of the respect and humility he has in him
We need GSP to give rogan the talk about his decline in MMA commentating
I hope when fans are back, he realises that he's not doing a fight companion
@@ctesociety9552 he should let a young guy do it that needs a career. Joe is asleep even in live gates. Leg Kicks seem to wake him up the most but all the other stuff he is stoned
@@NavaDownSouth For the love of God no. Replace Anik if anything.
@@Gem-Ex what does joe rogan actually do, he just waits for leg kicks then says OMG he 's hurt this fight could end! then the figther that was leg kicked knocks the dude out. He might have gotten lucky on sean omalley and connor lol
Nothing wrong with Rogan, put some respect on his name
Joe "haven't watched a complete show since Spotify" Rogan !
I never thought of it at the time but I'm very fortunate to have seen GSP fight in his prime. He is literally our (I'm 33) generations Bruce Lee.
GSP is one of the furthest from a dudebro I think I've seen in the MMA world; he's just so humble and articulate.
Can't help but need to comment that this podcast was epic. GSP is so smart and such a great philosopher being so young.. Its scary how good he will be at 50, his mind and thoughts are so powerful
GSP is the man. Completely honest, so open, so truthful, and all with zero ego.
What a legend and a true role model. Love you GSP!
A true role model of MMA. The GOAT.
6:28 GSP to water bottle "hold on I'm talking brother"
what an elegant, humble and class act GSP is. I never knew his views on life but now i am even more impressed
GSP is such a great guy, so humble for a great
i always tell my sparring partners to go easy and they always think i'm scared, but i'm just trying to get the most out of my sparring without losing my brain cells.
But the problem is they go 'Well why are you here? You know what you're getting into!' :/
@@Cup.cake991 find a better gym. They are not all like that.
@@Cup.cake991 go to Hawaii and train with Max. He doesn't do any sparring.
100% on the whole sparring like it's a title fight thing. I left 2 gyms that burned guys out doing that.
Always getting hurt with little improvement.
That makes so much sense. I've been both types that he described while sparring, and I sparred against both types. Seeing the champ explain it like that, makes me wish I listened to this advice earlier in life
so many people need to hear this. i’m tired of telling people to chill out during sparring because they think they need to knock me out to get better
Reminds me when Joe told Brendon that he should stop fighting.
Might not have been so traumatic for Brendon if GSP told him...
One of you fifty people that have seen or heard the original audio of Brendan and JRE, explain to me how this conversation is similar in any way, shape or form.
Holy cow.
@@BM-wf9uf True, but he wouldn't have listened, because he's not close to him. That's why it meant so much when Joe said it. He's his friend, so he knows it's coming from a genuine place.
And now he's making more money than he ever did from fighting without getting knocked out doing it.
@@dbeck82 GSP says in the beginning of the video that he would tell his close friends when it's time to stop competing in fights because they dont have what it takes. Which is exactly what Joe did with Brendan.
GSP is brilliant, an absolute legend
I absolute love GSP, and I especially love when he’s on the podcast. I always learn A LOT!
Such a respectful person, true champion
“MMA could be an egoistic sport if you’re not careful and having fun along the way”
GSP
Could be ??😂
Gsp will remain one of the greatest ever for a long long time in my opinion. He is going to continue to be an amazing character and I think one day he will be as inspirational as some of the greatest ever to go down in other sports, especially for Canadians.
Someone would have to clean out an entire division. Move up a division beat the champion. Not test positive while doing. Leave an influence on the game. It's kinda impossible to reach this guy.
He always has been an elite martial artist; but he is now transitioning into a philosopher of martial arts. And he's already starting to be invited to do small roles in movies (he appeared in the WINTER SOLDIER and now he's in FALCON & WINTER SOLDIER), too, so he could even become a big, famous action actor (Jean Claude, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan et al) some day, given his extraordinary skills in MMA.
I remember not being a huge fan of GSP when started becoming big, but not because of who he was, but because I was just a big Matt Hughes guy. However, that quickly changed. GSP is such a humble, respectful, and driven fighter he sits at the top of my 'goat' list. Just a great dude
Very nice to hear a true Champion speak so graciously
I really want someone to make a compilation of the philosophical nature of MMA explained by great fighters like GSP and others. Everyone is just focused on the trash talking but ignores the philosophical aspects on it.
AHH finally a guest that's gonna get me open the Spotify app in recent months after Poirier.

The last section made so much sense bro you need an award for that GSP.
Such passion from George, love the energy
I never knew what a cool, intelligent guy GSP was. and is. he's just a badass all around.
I've watched GSP back during his early UFC days- Man has always been humble, respectful, and a beast!! Such a great person overall.
I love GSP, this guy's so intelligent and articulate. Always interesting to hear him talk about his sport.
God I loved fighting when I was younger (18-27), never started one but finished them all. I couldn't do it for sport though, I love my career lol and respect all those along with GSP for stepping in the octagon. Takes grit and heart and that's what I love about this sport. It's real with all the emotion
This is great advice not just for young people pursuing MMA as a career but for young people who are pursuing any professional athletic career in the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc. Statistically the vast majority of people don’t have what it takes to play their sport at the elite professional level (UFC, NHL, NFL, etc.) and it can be a hard truth to arrive at the especially when you’ve been doing your sport your whole life, like for me it was swimming.
Something about this guy. Just an awesome dude. Could listen to him talk for hours.
He still gets so excited about things
GSP is so insightful.
53 seconds in. This is the second clip of GSP's I have watched and it's time and it's absolute gold. I have to listen to the whole thing, now. I have to listen to this man. 😂
Georges "would you like to play a little bit" St-Pierre
As a martial artist I always have that dream of being a champion or some kind of action star. After hearing this, just being able to "play around" with a legend like GSP seems to be the highest honour I want now.
I love how humble this guy is !!!
I missed GSP, glad to see hes happy and doing well :)
GSP is one of those dudes that look better bald
I think it's more the choice of style than the hair itself. 🤔
Yea pretty gay haircut for 40 year old

very smart advice about the sparring! always a pleasure listening to GSP !
I can't get enough GSP. I miss watching him fight/compete.
GSP, Federer,Messi these guys are the GOATs in their game and yet so humble. Inspiring person man
Can’t be the Soccer GOAT without an International Trophy
Messi isn’t humble dawg. Just cause he isn’t outlandish like the real goat CR7 doesn’t mean shit
@@IGoz-gm8ld I'm a Barcelona fan and a big Messi fan. Watching the game you'll become a Messi fan because of the things he does on the pitch. But when you grow older you'll realize you Ronaldo is a bigger personality on and off the pitch. The man's a leader, outworks everyone, does a lot of charity etc. Also had a lot of difficulties growing up. Messi really has 0 personality.
I like GSP’s hat 👌
😂😂
GSP my hero for so many reasons, a good man, a great example for kids to follow and a legend of champions a fighter like no other....
This was 100% one of the most interesting and insightful episodes ever
George looks so healthy! good to see
It’s amazing how joe finds a way to squeeze jon “picto” jones into every conversation
JJ and Ngannou.
I love listening to gsp talk about the mental aspect of his sport.
GSP has always been refreshingly insightful
GSP is the GOAT in my book as of now.
The goat with the goat, proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦
So are most bears
This is the most powerful video I’ve heard. So practical no bs.
Brilliant content and insight from GSP.
"In most of my fight when I went to decision"... at first I thought GSP was acknowledging he was a decision machine but he was talking about how in most decision fights he could see the guy breaking.
Like he said not fun for the fans but ik makes sense. Why take the risk if you're winning. Also we know he CAN finish flights cause he did many times. But here he basically confirms that he simply didn't want to if it wasn't necessary.
Took me a second to recognize GSP with him having hair.
He is so well spoken and intelligent. This was excellent advice. Amazing. He reminds me of Van Damme. What a legend.
This is great advice for any sport with just playing around and not acting like it’s life or death, I’ve been playing soccer for 12 years and I’ve always found that I improve the most when I’m just playing with my little brothers in the yard because I would play with them like everyday and for hours on end, it allows you to be creative and try things that you wouldn’t otherwise try in a actual match like he said, great advice
"Me I tell dem da troot, ang hup da gloves"
