UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre is primed and ready for his title defence against Jon Fitch on Saturday at UFC 87, according to trainer Greg Jackson."He's focused, he's hungry, he looks mean," Jackson said Thursday after the pre-fight news conference. "I can tell he wants to fight. He keeps saying 'I wish I could get to the fight.'
St. Pierre (16-2) is looking for his first successful title defence. The Montrealer beat Matt Hughes for the 170-pound championship at UFC 65 in November 2006, only to lose it to Matt Serra in three minutes 25 seconds next time out at UFC 69 in April 2007. He won the title back convincingly from Serra at UFC 83 in Montreal this April.
The stylish Canadian is 3-0 since losing his title and, along with Anderson Silva, B.J. Penn and Fedor Emelianenko, is considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters on the planet.
