The former Strikeforce middleweight champion has wins over Robbie Lawler, Demian Maia, and even Tyron Woodley, but he wasn&#8217;t able to beat St-Pierre that night. Six years later, Shields helped St-Pierre prepare for his huge comeback fight against Michael Bisping. He recently talked in-depth about the match-up from an insider perspective and gave his prediction for the fight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[Georges St-Pierre]\u2019s a martial artist, so he\u2019s always trying to grow. He didn\u2019t take four years to just party, film movies and cruise around, he was still training pretty much every day, he was coming to New York, you know, I think he was going out and working boxing as well \u2013 actually, I know he had a guy from Toronto who was a boxer, Jorge, was working with him as well. So, he was constantly learning and expanding new skills, so definitely. Plus, he\u2019s bigger now, he\u2019s probably put on 10 pounds of muscle. He\u2019s still going to be smaller than Bisping, but he has that extra weight which should help.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After last night&#8217;s grappling training with Gordon Ryan John Danaher <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Carl_Massaro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Carl_Massaro<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mrkcerrone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Mrkcerrone<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Garry_Tonon?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@garry_tonon<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tuLgPv5fq0\">pic.twitter.com\/tuLgPv5fq0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Georges St-Pierre (@GeorgesStPierre) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GeorgesStPierre\/status\/920735299982036993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 18, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI mean, I\u2019ve trained with Georges [St-Pierre] so I\u2019m gonna pick Georges. I think Georges is gonna win the fight, but it\u2019s a tough fight. I\u2019ve trained with [Michael] Bisping as well, and guys underestimate him. I don\u2019t know why everyone always underestimates Bisping. I guess he doesn\u2019t have a lot of single-punch KO power or he doesn\u2019t have a lot of like fast submissions, but he\u2019s like strong, in shape and he wears people down. He just keeps coming and he breaks you. So if Georges has a hard time taking him down and keeping him down, it could be a tough fight. I\u2019ll go with GSP, I guess by decision. I think it\u2019s going to be a tough fight but I think GSP, he definitely has the wrestling advantage, I think on the stand-up they\u2019re pretty even. I think Bisping may be a little bit more high volume and conditioned where he holds the advantage in the size, but overall I think GSP is just so talented he\u2019ll find a way to win.\u201d\u00a0\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.submissionradio.com\/\">Jake Shields speaking to Submission Radio<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are so many unknowns in this fight: How will Georges St-Pierre look at his new weight? Can Michael Bisping stop the takedown? Does the lighting-fast ramming jab of St-Pierre disrupt Bisping&#8217;s infamous boxing? This is a fight that will prove if Georges St-Pierre should&#8217;ve stayed retired, or if the made the right call and he&#8217;s not just as good, but better than he was. All the questions will be answered this Saturday at UFC 217.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kkPK_IVU2C8\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>on 11\/2\/2017.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At UFC 129, Georges St-Pierre successfully defended his UFC welterweight title for the sixth time against one of the best grapplers in MMA, Jake Shields.
