<p>Georges St-Pierre has a plan, a plan in place, a plan in which there are three chapters. It was on January 11, while seated before a good meal at one of the restaurants Georges, Café Ferreira on Peel Street Montreal, surrounded by a group of mutual friends, we had a great evening to talk about the past, present and future - as we did almost religiously several times a week when I was his manager. It was a special evening, reunion, yes, but also an evening where we talked about his career, his strategy and what comes to our national hero. It has of course been discussed Nick Diaz, Johny Hendricks, but Anderson Silva.<br />
I was Georges manager for over five years and I had the chance to meet this impressive athlete in its infancy while fighting for my organization at the time (UCC), until that he became world champion in the UFC for the first time (against Matt Hughes) and until he suffered the loss of this title for which he had worked so hard at the hands of Matt Serra. Our paths are then removed, but I continued to follow with interest the career of an athlete who has certainly made me live my biggest thrills in professional sports. As a manager, as a friend, as a human being. The athlete has changed, but the man remained the same. Simple, courteous, and thoughtful secret. By cons, it is much more known and loved before. Even Marcel Aubut, at the famous dinner at Café Ferreira, could not help but come up from the table to shake hands with our World Champion and congratulate him on his way to shine on Quebec internationally.
There was talk of Nick Diaz, his opponent Saturday night ... At this time, January 11, he did not hate Diaz, it was just the business, but I can confirm today that a few months later , he hates to confess, and he will really hurt him in the octagon Saturday night. There will be qualified coaches behind him and an entourage serious to calm his enthusiasm before the fight that he does not commit the mistake of being too emotional when the bell rings. But the game plan will be to defeat Diaz and hurt him. Firas Zahabi be quiet strength in his corner, the strategist, but there will also Midoux Kristof, who will be there to motivate Georges as ever. It was also exciting to see Midoux work when walking to the Octagon for the fight against Carlos Condit and in the corner before the fight. Midoux brought passion in the game St-Pierre, he reminded him that he was a warrior. With Midoux in his corner, George is also undefeated.
Is that George has a game plan for the rest of his career? Course. His plan is so detailed and so intelligent that it is normal so that the cassette when asked about it. While most athletes as George said refuse to think beyond Nick Diaz, it is not so: the plan is already decided. And when it came to this famous plan our plates before the Portuguese restaurant, I saw the fire in his eyes that I had not seen in years. Obviously, this plan can not be implemented in the event of a defeat against Nick Diaz, but let's be honest, this scenario is not part of the plan ... Should not a victory against Diaz, he will then face the winner of the fight between Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks.
Let's talk about precisely what Hendricks. George believes that he has talked too much since his victory by knockout at the Bell Centre against Martin Kampmann, and it is something that seems to have displeased that was even more annoyed than you might think. When he told media representatives that Hendricks did not deserve to win against Josh Koscheck in May 2012, he really thinks. He looked at the pictures a few times in this fight, and his scorecard to him, Koscheck won two of the three rounds of the fight. But Hendricks, if he wins against Condit course, part of the plan of Georges St-Pierre. If it's up to him, Hendricks will be the co-star of the second chapter of his plan. Hendricks is dangerous, and George knows very well. Never forget that often keeps the best for last when establishing a plan.
But what is the 3rd chapter of the plan drawn up by Georges St-Pierre himself? Yep, you guessed it: it is the famous Brazilian Anderson Silva. Stop believing he does not want to face Silva, Georges dream clash. He dreams to retire at the peak of his glory in being recognized as a legend as the greatest fighter of all time. And to do that, it must be considered the best fighter on the planet "pound for pound" ... Why not now? Just because George has a well-established, and as the rest of his career, he will follow to the letter. There are now as many stars to align so that the plan remains perfect ... He must defeat Nick Diaz on Saturday night, defending his title once more against the winner of Condit-Hendricks and then prepare for a shock titans ... Speaking of stars, they must also align to Silva, who must defeat Chris Weidman.
This is a scenario dreamed so, so well planned, that I feel that the stars will align to the third and final chapter. George turns 32 next May and this dream fight could take place in late 2013 or early 2014. And what will happen there in the future? If Georges wins during the clash against Anderson Silva, I strongly feel he will retire in glory, like all great athletes have always dreamed of doing. If the game plan is really to perfection, he will retire being recognized as the greatest athlete in the history of mixed martial arts. It will be recognized as one that has dominated and enthroned atop the 170-pound division during all these years, having defeated one by one all the aspirants who have risen up to him, and he will also be recognized as the first fighter to have overcome the terrible Anderson Silva in the UFC octagon.
Plans matches are not always perfect and the stars are not always aligned, but this is indeed the game plan of Georges St-Pierre. Chapter One, Saturday night at the Bell Centre.
