Georges St-Pierre

Bio

Born May 19, 1981 in Saint-Isidore, Québec, Canada, St-Pierre had a difficult childhood, attending a school where others would steal his clothes and money.[7] He started learning Kyokushin karate at age seven to defend himself against a school bully.[8] He took up wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu after his karate teacher died, and he also trained in boxing. Before turning pro as a mixed-martial artist, St-Pierre worked as a bouncer at a Montreal night club in the South Shore called Fuzzy Brossard and as a garbageman for six months to pay for his school fees.[9] St-Pierre has trained with a number of groups in a wide variety of gyms throughout his fighting career. Prior to his fight with B.J. Penn at UFC 58, he trained at the Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Academy in New York City. St-Pierre received his brown belt in BJJ from Renzo Gracie on July 21, 2006.[10] In September 2008, St-Pierre earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Bruno Fernandes.[11] Recently, St-Pierre began training with Rashad Evans, Nathan Marquardt, Keith Jardine, and other skilled MMA fighters at Greg Jackson's Submission Fighting Gaidojutsu school in New Mexico. Some of Jackson's students accompanied St-Pierre to Montreal to help prepare him for his fight at UFC 94 against B.J. Penn at the Tristar Gym, including Keith Jardine, Nathan Marquardt, Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone, and Rashad Evans. Georges's strength and conditioning coach is Jonathan Chaimberg of Adrenaline Performance Centre in Montréal. Georges's Head Trainer is Firas Zahabi of Zahabi MMA, out of the Tristar gym. The two have cornered all of St-Pierre's most recent bouts, and remain as his close friends. Currently, St-Pierre trains in Muay Thai under Phil Nurse at the Wat in New York City.
