Legend 2 Legend with Burt Watson, Episode 5: Georges St-Pierre

As the former UFC event coordinator, Burt Watson has seen it all. A beloved figure among fighters past and present, he can tell stories nobody else can. What can we say? He’s a legend.

That’s why he’s got this show, “Legend 2 Legend,” an MMA Junkie feature where Burt and another legend shoot the breeze and peel back the curtain – at least just a little bit.

In Episode 5, Burt sits down with UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre as they discuss:

• Being bullied as a kid but becoming confident and learning discipline through karate thanks to his father
• Knowing when MMA was for him and how he transitioned from karate thanks to his “first mentor” Christophe Midoux
• Developing his MMA skills with Renzo Gracice, Jackson Wink MMA and trainer Firas Zahabi at TriStar Gym
• Having to fight Matt Hughes in just his third UFC fight and how he was “scared to death” heading into it
• The 2007 upset by Matt Serra, how he was too comfortable before the fight, why there was no shame in tapping to strikes, and what he realized afterward
• Vacating the welterweight title after his 2013 fight with Johny Hendricks and his concerns over performance-enhancing drugs in the UFC
• The decision to come back after more than four years away to fight Michael Bisping for the middleweight title
• And much more!
