I wasn't going to say it, but when I first heard Firas' comments about GSP not wanting to fight Wonderboy, first thing I thought was they may very well know it's a horrible match up for Georges. They may not think they could beat Wonderboy
Wonderboy himself sounds like he'd consider fighting GSP at least:
“You never know man,” Thompson said of a possible showdown with St-Pierre. “You know, he was actually my inspiration to switch from kickboxing to mixed martial arts, training with him, helping him get ready for his fights. We have a closer relationship than I even did with Rory [MacDonald]. I would not want to step out there in the Octagon with him, but I understand it’s business, and you never know what the UFC’s going to throw at you.”
“I’m glad he’s back in the UFC man,” Thompson continued. “He’s one of the best welterweights who ever stepped out there into the Octagon. My hat’s off to the guy. I know he’s been out for awhile, but he’s always training, always evolving, and he’s a life-long martial artist. But yeah man, you never know. We’ll see what happens.”
“Yea man you know last time I was walking around at about 182 (pounds). I’m up to 190 (pounds) and I’m trying to stay about right there. I am not trying to get over that (190-pounds). It is still a dramatic cut. But, I have done it before. I have done it in the past. So I know I can do it. I am feeling stronger and I am feeling faster than ever man.”
one of my favorite fighters, gotta love his style
