He went to college for kinesiology, while training martial arts since a child. A lot of pro fighters skipped college, but not GSP. He went to school to learn how to kick people’s asses better. The dude is unreal

[@beaches2mountains230]

How this man conducts himself outside of the cage is absolutely a statement of his character and integrity as a human being..Including his humility and balanced nature as a human being is amazing..In the cage I always loved every fight of his and his ability to pull through and dig deep when things got tough were exceptional. To me, this culmination or amalgamation of qualities makes him the GOAT of his time and class.

[@shahrukhbhuiyan1225]

When you consider both in and out of the cage, GSP is the GOAT. But only in the cage, It's hands down JBJ.

Yeah, I just wish he spoke more about topics that he has already told on Joe Rogans podcast and his sentences are almost even the same on some stories which is kinda annoying when you wanna hear some new stuff from such a wise man like GSP. He is truly an amazing human being and everyone should have a friend like George in their life.

GSP is the 🐐

[@warhmonger]

I used to be a bully back in middle school and high school. 22 years have now passed and I definitely regret everything I did to all those people and sometimes I do think about it. The way someone is raised makes the biggest difference and most people are ignorant of the whole situation. Back then I couldn't even comprehend why I did it other than it made me falsely feel superior. It took me many many years to understand why I did what I did and it was a complete life changer. I raised my boys strictly and I teach them to be compassionate and not to judge others they don't know because they never know if those people can actually turn out to be a friend. GSP is a bigger champ as a Human being than he is in the Octagon. Great story Champ!

[@TheRelger]

My brother was my only bully. Put my friends and I down to get a laugh. He was very toxic until I punched him in the head a few times much later in life. Sometimes bullies need a beating for a wake up call.

[@samshongwe]

I get that. But I will still commit heinous acts to my bully. I thought success abs a balanced life would be it, but it turns out I’m still vindictive. Especially since I got nephews. Imagining that they would go through what I went through made me say to myself I’ll go deal with that junkie ex bully of mine. Sorry not sorry.

[@warhmonger]

@@samshongwe If you choose not to let it go that's your choice no one is going to stop you. Some learn to forgive and others hold onto it like a grudge.

[@smjhobbies4527]

My late grandfather, rest in peace Grandpa, used to train some Golden Glove boxers back in the day. The two best things I remember him telling me about fighting where this. If you're going to get into fighting get in it when you're young and get out of it when you're young. The second thing he said was, a scared man, can fight better than a Madman, everyday of the week

Fellow Canadian… classy guy. True champion and role model and transparent without being vulgar or depressing to listen to. Took a lot from this. Much respect to GSP.

[@mofugga_2.0]

I think what the interviewers don't get is that GSP isn't on a hunt for anything because he already completed his. It's hard to understand if you're still on the grind, but that's the reason he's just trying to make his inner peace because he achieved his goals lived his dream and therefore his mission is over, hence he just wants to share his knowledge and not for profit reasons or because it's what's he wants to do its what he knows what he lived. Great guy I have to say, the George Clooney of the UFC, just gets better with age. Also similar progression to Iron Mike, maybe it's a fighter thing.

Thanks guys. GREAT PODCAST. MUCH RESPECT.

[@TheNExperience]

it was interesting to see the "are you in the hunt" series of questions. I think it boils down to 2 very different life philosophies. In America, we have this culture of always having to be "busy" at something, to be doing something, and I think it means that we've lost sight of what it means to just allow oneself to simply be. I'm not sure the host grasps this concept. Georges is looking for a life where when he gets up in the morning, there are no demands on his time that he didn't put there. A life where there are no obligations. That is true freedom. To be in full control of the only truly finite resource in your life - time. Georges seems to indicate that he gave it his all, burnt himself out to be amazing at something and that he's ok if there's not something else in his lifetime that he has to outcompete someone at. I don't think that here in America we understand very well that you don't always have to be competing, or comparing yourself to someone else, or always have to be the best at something. We're not familiar or comfortable with the concept of having "enough". Georges has made enough money to not have to outcompete other people for resources to live the kind of life that he wants to - kudos to him for that. He has nothing left to prove and has turned his energies inwards towards being the best Georges he can be, and that is good enough, he doesn't have to be the best podcaster, car salesman, or anything else to feel validated and at peace. And that's OK.

[@ar-15houstontx6]

Definitely COULD NOT have said that better, so true.....

[@jalesbarjo4740]

Peace comes within you. You don't chase it. I felt the host being very annoyed with the guest philosophy of life! I don't know if it's just me or is there any truth to that.

I experienced how much of a gentleman Georges is when I spotted him having breakfast alone and could not resist going over to say a few words. I apologized for disturbing him, but he said it was no problem and he finished his bite and set down his cutlery to listen. It was a small gesture, but the politeness of it, and his respectful demeanour, really struck me. I told him that I had been a fan for a long time and particularly enjoyed being in the crowd when he gave Koscheck the beating that he deserved, which got a big smile, and I let him get on with his meal. Just a class act.
