News And Notes From The UFC 83 Press Conference

GSP says that he fights because he wants to, not because he has to. He has degrees in school, and can do something else, but loves the job. He is a shy guy, and does enjoy the privacy he gets in being able to go to movies, and restaurants.

Serra asked about his herniated disks. He says that his L4-L5 disks were herniated but that he had a spinal injected and is back to sparring, and training, and will be fully ready by April 19th.

Dana makes some comments that most of the guys are great guys; that there are “a couple of idiots” …no direct reference to Tito or Couture.

There was a lot of talk on how brining this event to Montreal would now make St-Pierre a regular face in Quebec and across Canada. He gave Michael Bisping as an example of a fighter that was a relative unknown in the UK before The Ultimate Fighter series, but after a few PPV shows, he is now a popular figure in the UK, and Dana expects the same to happen for George.

Dana dismissed the notion of continued PRIDE versus UFC rivalries. He said that they purchased Pride, so that war is over.

GSP says that like in hockey, it’s not always the best team that wins, but the one that played the best that night. That is what he thinks happened in his last fight with Serra. He made a mistake, and he will not make it again.

Serra is with the same training camp, Renzo Gracie and Ray Luongo, along with a lot of tough guys from his school. He will basically keep the same training camp as the last time he fought GSP.
