Post UFC 87 - Continued
by StPierre 
After the party in my room Saturday night, when everybody left the room I didn't go to bed right away because I couldn't sleep. My heart was still beating fast from all the adrenaline. I watched the Olympic games for a couple of hours after everyone left and I still couldn't go to sleep. I had constantly highlights from fight running through my head and I was trying to remember the whole fight scenario and I was trying to figure out why I wasn't able to finish him. After approximately 3 hours of sleep, I woke up with a big American breakfast scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, sausage, potatoes and orange juice. After I went to the airport, and I had one of the worst flights ever in my life. The plane was going up and down during half an hour, and God knows how afraid I am to fly. When I got into Montreal, when I passed the customs, the lady must have thought I was a criminal or a street fighter because of the bruise & stitches over my eye, so she sent me to the search place. When I was through the search, the moment I turned on my Canadian phone, it started ringing. I must have had 100 text messages waiting for me. I wanted to help Denis Kang, David Loiseau, Rashad Evans and Nate Marquardt for their upcoming fights, but unfortunately, I got stitches over my left eye and I won't be able to spar or roll for three weeks. I'm watching the Olympic games closely because I have two of my friends and training partners who will compete in Beijing in wrestling. I was amazed by how easy Osaim Colt won the 100 meter and beat the world record. So far, that's the athlete who's surprised me the most in the Olympic games. Even though Michael Phelps beat the record for the most medals, which is something amazing as well. I was very happy to come back home and to be able to have a good rest in my own bed. Well, it was not a good rest because some of my friends knocked at my door and forced me to go celebrate my victory in the club. I think during the first three days home I probably only slept a total of 3 hours because I've been partying a lot with my friends. I have also eaten a lot of McDonald's this week I'm catching up for not eating any McDonald's for one month prior to the fight. But after three days of partying, no sleep, and eating McDonald's, I felt so guilty I went to train with John Chaimberg, my strength and conditioning coach, who was more than happy to make me suffer for an hour and a half. Next week I'll start some light training - some pad work, conditioning and drilling techniques. It's important for me to get back to training as fast as I can, because what makes a champion a champion is constancy. Yesterday, even though everyone was making fun of Denis Kang and me for going to see cartoons, we enjoyed watching Star Wars I'm a big fan.

so i take it that airport security is just as crazy in canada as it is in the us.. i'm sure that was frustrating, but hey what can ya do..
btw.. anyone know when the olympic wrestling is is going to be televised? i missed the judo portion and was truely disappointed...
ha.. please, you know they'll all be sneaking the animated star wars dvd when it comes out... those are the things that keep us young and joyful..
sounds like a whirlwind week with plenty of ups and downs.. just take it easy, get some rest and heal up.
you'll be back on the mat in no time...

When and if the UFC is able to make it to Ontario I will be at the ACC to watch you in action ... but I have a feeling you could sell out the Rogers centre (SKYDOME) !!! I will be at the next show in Montreal as well ... I'm just hoping to see you here soon!

Depuis la France, j'adore écouter et lire tes interventions, qui sont chaque fois pleines de sagesse, on croirait que tu vis depuis 2 siècles Georges! Bravo à toi dans tout ce que tu entreprends, et ne perds jamais cette intelligence du sport qui fait la différence avec touts tes adversaires!
Une petite question? Pourquoi avoir choisit Booba pour ton entrée à Mineapolis?
Le rap Français est il beaucoup répondu au Québec?
Benoit
