Did you ever fear an emotional letdown being that Thiago Alves wasn really giving him that fuel?
FZ: No, Georges is a very motivated person. He’s a really motivated guy. He loves what he does. If you’re going to be good at something you’re going to do, you have to love it because it takes a lot of extra work to be the best. Georges still has that passion. He hasn’t lost his love for martial arts. I don’t see it dying whatsoever. He’s still very excited about training; he’s still very excited about learning new things and still very excited about coming in and sparring. He still tells me before sparring that he’s feeling nervous. He still gets the butterflies before sparring. It’s just something he’s been doing his entire life and I don’t think he can see himself doing anything else. If there were no such thing as the UFC or there was no place to compete and show off your skills I think Georges would be the kind of guy that would be working a job and doing martial arts on the side. He just loves his work. PC: You were a fighter as well Firas. How much does having that element help
