"I heard he broke the orbital bone and had surgery. I hope he’s okay. Yeah I think [the doctors should have stopped it]. I think the doctors or his corner men should have stopped it because it's very dangerous in this sport, he could lose an eye and also it could be a career-killing situation, but at the end of the day it was good for the fans... I think my peak is still ahead. I'm 29 years old, I get better every time, I feel stronger every time, and I've changed a lot of things in my training and I try to keep it a secret. I keep it for me and it makes me better. I think I can get much, much better than I am right now."
-Georges St. Pierre talks to the Fan 590 in Toronto with Andrew Krystal (transcribed by SportsRadioInterviews.com) about his UFC 124 win over Josh Koscheck and continuing to improve his game.
Penick's Analysis: That's the other thing about GSP that puts him atop the list for me when it comes to the "best fighter in the world" debate. He's still only 29 years old and in the midst of his athletic peak. He's only going to develop more skills and improve everything that he's already great at, and he'll continue to do that for some time. Imagining a much, much better GSP than we've already seen is imagining an unstoppable fighter, and he'll continue to be a treat for fans and fighters to watch and learn from.
