St. Pierre on Penn: 'I Want to Take Him Out'

“I’m going to fight him in a way that nobody has fought him before,” UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre says of his rematch with B.J. Penn. “I’m going to break him mentally before he breaks physically.”

The first meeting between the two world-class fighters went to St. Pierre via split decision. Peaks and valleys have followed since that epic showdown in March 2006, but the storyline remains the same.

Make no mistake, Penn and St. Pierre are amongst the finest the sport of mixed martial arts has to offer. When the champions collide Saturday at UFC 84, forget the titles and reputations. It’s man versus man, artist versus artist.

Speaking with Sherdog.com’s Greg Savage in an exclusive video interview, St. Pierre discusses his first duel with Penn and what the second encounter will hold.
