St. Pierre unhappy despite win

Georges St. Pierre was unhappy despite winning his fight against Dan Hardy in the main event of Saturday night’s UFC 111 event in New Jersey.

St. Pierre had no problems winning the fight but the crowd of about 17,000 was unhappy with St. Pierre’s takedown’s during the fight.

“Tonight I keep my championship, but it was not a fight for legacy,” St. Pierre said. “This fight isn’t going to be remembered. I want to win in beautiful fashion. I want a guy who doesn’t know nothing about MMA to turn the TV on and tell a friend, ‘I saw this guy fight. I didn’t understand what he was doing but the technique he used was beautiful. ‘”

“I’m going to tell you the truth, I’m not happy,” St. Pierre said. “I won the fight. To [compare it], it’s like a sprinter who is a 100-meter world champ. You sprint, win the 100 in 10 seconds. A few month later, you win again the race, but your run it in 10 seconds still. You’re still champ but you haven’t beat your time. I won, but I haven’t beat my performance from last time. I wanted to finish and have a clean win. For me it’s not clean.”
