Georges St-Pierre talks to Cagewriter.com:
“That’s not what I said. What I said is it’s a complete re-orientation of my career. People are saying crazy stuff, like “Oh, you just have to gain 30 pounds and take the fight and fight him in three months.” I can’t (gain) 30 pounds in three months. It would take a lot more than that. If I want to go up in weight class.”
“Plus, (Anderson) Silva fights at light heavyweight as well. So he walks around at … he’s probably 40 pounds heavier than I am (off season). So if I fight this fight, it might be at a catch weight. If it happens.”
“It’s something I’m not thinking about right now because it’s not my number one priority. I’ve had a lot of success at 170. If I move to 185, I need to talk to my sponsors, my trainers. It’s a complete change of life. Do I want to take the risk, maybe yes. Maybe It’s going to be a great challenge. Maybe, no. But I have to talk with my trainers. … I have to fight Jake Shields, I think Anderson Silva has to fight Yushin Okami.”
“I’m not afraid of nobody in the world. I’m a martial artist. If it happens [with] the right timing and everything, if it is how I want it, and how he wants it. I fight whoever they want. I can fight everyone in the world. I don’t mind.”
