From St. Pierre, courtesy of TSN.ca:

“I’m sure that if I had shown him a couple of techniques and if he had trained as long as me, with his size, strength and power, he would beat me. But the knowledge that I have that he does not, that was the difference. I was surprised. He’s better than I thought he would be. I respect him a lot because he showed up. A lot of guys talk but don’t show up.”

“That’s much harder than an NHL game or a hockey fight. It’s unbelievable, I couldn’t imagine fighting someone my own size.” St. Pierre can be seen on the upcoming twelfth season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) coaching opposite Josh Koscheck as the two count down to their 170-pound rematch.
