GSP's trainer Greg Jackson on training and strategy against Thiago Alves

GSP's strategy against Thiago Alves

GSP: "I'm gonna fight against his weaknesses not his strengths."

Georges St. Pierre and Thiago Alves aren't shy to exchange words with one-another before UFC 100, in which the two will battle for the UFC welterweight championship. Alves took a stab at St. Pierre earlier this weak saying he is gonna "knock-out one of the best pound-for-pound fighters and shock the world."

St. Pierre has his own ideas as to how this welterweight match-up will go down.

"I'm not going to get knocked-out by Thiago Alves," Georges St. Pierre told UFC.com. "I might knock him out or I might submit him. I have many way to win that fight. I have more tools than he has, July 11 there is only one way to find out and I'm gonna prove it to everybody. I'm gonna be the one that will dictate the pace, I'm gonna be the one who will control the fight. I think I can stand with him, wrestle with him, go to the ground with him, I think I can do everything."

St. Pierre is currently riding a five-fight win streak over Josh Koscheck, Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, Jon Fitch and BJ Penn. In fact, the last time St. Pierre lost was at UFC 69 when Matt Serra shocked the world and took the belt from a knocked-out GSP. St. Pierre learned a lot from that loss and showed his versatility during his five straight wins.

"I'm a smart fighter. I'm gonna fight against his weaknesses not his strengths. The key for me is to win and to win, I'm ready to do anything. Thiago is a different fighter than I've fought in the past. Were both in our prime, were both at the peak of our career and now were gonna clash July 11. It's gonna be a great fight and I look forward to it. Theres only one way to find out who's the best welterweight in the world. At the end of the fight, I'm gonna have my hand raised and still be the undisputed UFC welterweight champion of the world."
