“Yes it was a similar experience [to the Serra fight]. When I got hit hard, sometimes before I was very proud guy, I try to give it back right away but the experience I gained from a lot of all my fight allowed me to recompose, defend myself and when I got back I come back stronger. It’s that experience that allowed me to survive, you know, and come back from that kick that I got hit with.”

During the UFC 154 post-fight press conference UFC welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre told the media in attendance that his crushing KO loss to Matt Serra made him the fighter he is today in regards to his durability and ability to recover clearly from punishment.
