UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and top contender Dan Hardy are under consideration to be coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 11, according to The Telegraph. With a recent rash of injuries shelving many of the UFC's headliners from early-2010 action, the news comes as a surprise as it delays St-Pierre's return against Hardy from March or April to July or later, removing yet another draw from the promotion's available roster for the first half of next year.

I had so much fun on the set that day!

Proud to be a "G" Athlete

Today I shot a commercial for Gatorade - I'm proud to be the first MMA athlete to be sponsored by Gatorade, and also proud for the sport - it shows how far it has come. It's really an honor for me to be the company of such other great athletes. Tomorrow I shoot the movie "Death Warrior" - I'll write more in a few days when I have some time. Thanks to everyone for all their support!

Trailer for Never Surrender

Check out the trailer for my film debut. Hey guys, the producer let me know I made a mistake. This is actually not the movie trailer -- it's a teaser for the music video. Many of you had been asking about the movie, so I wanted to show you some clips. And by the way, it's supposed to be released in the spring.

Fans' Q&A

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 13:57:18 -0500

Thanks to everybody for leaving comments on my blog entries - I'm really glad to know I have such support! I want to answer a few questions from fans who have e-mailed me, but I decided to answer here so I could share with everybody (these questions are from jhb1994). How important is high school wrestling in MMA? Wrestling is a very important sport and it's probably the sport that helps me the most in MMA. But I didn't start wrestling in high school - I started when I was 19 years old with some of the best wrestlers in the world and one of the best coaches as well. Wrestling is not a sport where you're going to learn how to hurt someone or how to finish him - it's a sport that allows you to control the fight - and that's why it's so important and not enough people give wrestling credit. What is your favorite sport other than MMA? I am a fan of every kind of sport, but I really love ice hockey, basketball & chess. Who is your favorite fighter? My favorite fighter to watch was Kazushi Sakuraba when he was at his best because he had a very unorthodox style and he was very unpredictable.

Welcome - Post UFC 87

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:18:26 -0500

Welcome everybody to my official & only blog. You can know about what I'm doing by following me here. Last week I met some great people in Minnesota. One of them was Chef John working at Murray's restaurant, a place where they have the best steak that I have eaten in my life. By the way I want to wish him all my wishes for his marriage. I actually ate at Murray's every meal that I could because John was there to cook for us a special meal without sodium or carbs. This helped me have one of the easiest weight cuts I've ever had in my life. The press conference was very special for me because it was in the biggest mall in North America, and it impressed me a lot. I thought it was a good idea for the UFC to make it happen there. It was awesome because the fans could see it live, which is not possible normally because it's someplace close for just the reporters. I would like to say thanks to all the fans in Minneapolis because I was very well received as if I was one of their hometown fighters. When I finished losing all my weight, I realized I dropped too much. Normally I like to hit 170 on the nose, and this time I actually went too far because my scale was off. It didn't hurt me at all. When I realized I was actually 169, my trainer Firas Zahabi gave me a small packet of sugar to start putting carbs back in my body. After the weigh-ins, I headed straight to Bellanote's for a big plate of pasta. I was joined by all my friends who came to see me fight, and also my trainers & my manager. It was the last meal before my fight where I allowed myself to be with people outside of my cornermen. During the fight at one point they were chanting GSP, and it touched me and gave me more drive to beat Jon Fitch. I even have more respect for Jon Fitch right now, I knew he was tough, but not as tough as he proved to be. I know he's got a heart of a champion and I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to meet another time in the Octagon. I'm glad that I have been able to succeed where I failed last year by my first title defense. After the fight I was so tired that I didn't even go out, I just wanted to hang out with my friends that came down to watch me fight, and also, with my team and manager. I'm glad that I went 5 rounds with Jon Fitch because it gave me a lot of Octagon experience and a lot of confidence in myself. Next time I'm in a war, I will know without a doubt that I can push myself for 5 5-minute rounds. A lot of people are surprised because I'm at BJ Penn for coming inside the Octagon during my little moment of glory after the fight. But I'm a fighter, and it comes with the job of fighting and I know BJ wanted to have a shot at the title and as a matter of fact I'm not angry at him to have that. I actually like him. I do realize what I got in my hands. I'm the UFC World Welterweight Champion and I plan to stay there for a long time.
