Even away from MMA since November 2013, Georges St Pierre remains linked to the sport that gave him fame and closely follows one of today's main clashes: between José Aldo e Conor McGregor. In GSP's opinion, Aldo is the best fighter on the planet, but he should be careful, as McGregor is not just a “talker” and can deliver on what he has been saying.

"José Aldo He is an extravagant, very dangerous fighter, with that aura of invincibility around him. He's the best pound-for-pound in the world right now. That’s what I believe,” said St. Pierre, in an interview with former fighter Chael Sonnen on the “You're Welcome” podcast. “And Conor McGregor can be either very smart or very stupid. But I think he is quite skilled and can deliver what he says. I believe Conor is trying to play that game of getting into Aldo's head. Maybe this will work, maybe not. We’ll see what will happen”, he analyzed.

José Aldo e Conor McGregor settle their differences in the octagon on July 11th, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas (USA). The fight, valid for the featherweight belt, is the main fight of UFC 189, an event that marks the launch of the exclusive partnership between Ultimate and Reebok in the supply of sporting equipment and also the end of “International Fight Week”, a week of attractions that , among various activities, includes the “Fan Expo”, with a series of events aimed at MMA fans.
