UFC welterweight king, the Canadian Georges St. Pierre answered TATAME's call after dominating Thiago "Pitbull" in the hundredth edition of the UFC. In a relaxed chat, which you check at the TATAME Magazine #162, the fighter opened the game about the victory. "I thought he would be my most difficult challenge, because it’s like in mathematics, and Thiago Alves has an equation that I had never fought before, different problems that nobody had ever given me before", said St. Pierre, who also commented his training routine.

Black belt of Jiu-Jitsu and Karate, GSP saw the Brazilian Lyoto Machidaput the Karate in the map of MMA. "My Karate style is Kyokushin and Lyoto’s is Shootokan, the rules are a little different. But I think it isn’t the style that makes the fighter, is the fighter that makes itself, and Lyoto Machida is a great fighter", praises Georges, taking the opportunity to reveal the desire to train with the fighter. "I would love it, because I love Karate and Lyoto is a great fighter", he said.
