Stealing from a UFC-caliber
fighter would strike most people as a bad idea, yet somehow, it looks like
welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre had his car hi-jacked last week.
GSP did not provide any
further details about the incident, but regardless of what kind of car he was
driving, he should be able to afford another one based on the $400,000 he made
at UFC 158 this March (via MMA Manifesto).
The French-Canadian superstar
sees a rare stroke of bad luck here as he is currently riding an 11-fight win
streak inside the Octagon, which includes a UFC welterweight record of eight
consecutive title defenses.
According to UFC President
Dana White, St-Pierre “positively” knows that his friend and occasional
training partner Chris Weidman will beat middleweight champ Anderson Silva next
month (via MMA Mania).
Therefore, don’t expect to see
a St-Pierre vs. Silva superfight in this lifetime.
The 32-year-old is expected to
face top 170-pound contender Johny “Bigg Rigg” Hendricks for his next title
bout, though the match up is still yet to be finalized according to MMA Mania.
St-Pierre hasn’t tasted defeat
in over six years since getting upset by Matt Serra at UFC 69, but Hendricks is
on a six-fight unbeaten streak and boasts impressive one-punch knockout power
that could put any welterweight’s lights out.
In this particular situation,
the robber is probably better off having the police catch him, as opposed to
one of MMA’s pound-for-pound greats. (Source)
