Georges St-Pierre has watched Conor McGregor's career arc, especially his back-to-back losses against Dustin Poirier. Therefore, 'GSP' believes fighting 'The Diamond' for the fourth time is not a good idea for the Irishman.

While McGregor promised to take on Poirier for a fourth time after suffering a freak injury at UFC 264, St-Pierre thinks it's a bad idea. He said:

"If I’m his (Conor McGregor's) manager, I don’t want my client to come back to fight the same guy again for the fourth time. Because now it seems like Dustin has his number. He needs to perhaps take another fight. I think he should come back and maybe fight Nate Diaz or someone else that has a different style than Dustin Poirier, because styles make fights, and I have the feeling that now Dustin Poirier probably has his number right now."

Georges St-Pierre added that since McGregor has been inactive for a long time, having fought only four times in five years, he has lost his mojo. Voicing his brutally honest opinion about the 'champ-champ,' St-Pierre said:

"Conor has been out for a long time. He needs to get back in there to spend more time in the octagon in order to find his own self, the way he moves and his abilities. It seems like he might have lost some of his ability due to his inactivity."

#1 Georges St-Pierre dropped the truth bomb on his idol Matt Hughes

Before Georges St-Pierre made his impact in the UFC and cemented his place as the greatest welterweight ever, it was Matt Hughes who was dominating the company. St-Pierre confessed that he considered Hughes to be his idol, and it was the 'Gracie Killer' that handed 'GSP' the first of his only two MMA losses in 2004.

When Hughes avenged his loss against BJ Penn at UFC 63, while also defending his welterweight title, Georges St-Pierre was inside the octagon to congratulate him. However, in one of the most savage moments in St-Pierre's life, he gave the most brutally honest opinion ever, telling Hughes:

"I'm very glad you won that fight, Matt. But I'm not impressed by your performance, and I look forward to fight you in the near future."

The statement surprised the whole arena, including Matt Hughes, who couldn't help but smile. When Joe Rogan asked what he felt about St-Pierre's statement, Hughes said:

"That's his opinion. It might stink, but it's his opinion."

Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre faced each other inside the octagon two months later at UFC 65, where 'Rush' TKO'd his idol and one of the greatest welterweight fighters the UFC has ever known.
