When Georges St-Pierre retired and Jon Jones was absent, I had Jose Aldo, the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. That's how highly I think of him.
Georges St-Pierre is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
I want to go against the best fighters. That's why I'm always calling out Georges St-Pierre. I don't have anything against Georges St-Pierre. I think he's a great fighter.
I always talk about how Georges St-Pierre is my favorite fighter.
I think the reason I'm the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world is I beat everyone in my division.
Style-wise, I'm not ideal to fight, but I'm not taking anything away from 'Canelo' Alvarez, he's a special fighter and he's one of the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world for a reason.
I respect Georges St. Pierre as a businessman and an athlete. I don't have anything against him personally. But he's not the kind of fighter I like watching.
I think if you get the opportunity to try and become the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world and you turn your back on it, then you're a bit of a fraud.
Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter to have ever done it.
Jose Aldo, this guy's a chicken. I can't even tell you how good Jose Aldo is, but he doesn't think it.
It's not just Georges St. Pierre, I see myself being able to beat every fighter.
Georges St-Pierre is a good fighter who is proving his place in MMA with every fight.
Saw the best boxer, pound for pound: Roy Jones. Not a lot of hype, though.
I don't have anything against Georges St-Pierre. I think he's a great fighter. I think he's a nice guy just like everybody else, and he's a great role model. I would love to be that too if I was in that position.
What it really comes down to is that I believe I'm the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and to do that, I need to beat the best.
Georges St. Pierre has the best takedowns and dominant wrestling ability, and he's a great athlete, but he's shown he can be knocked out. I think B.J. Penn is the better fighter. He's the great martial artist.
I have the best style to defeat the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world - Demetrious Johnson.
