Georges St-Pierre is one of the toughest fighters in the history of the UFC. While he has battled out some of the baddest men in the octagon, he is a fairly easy-going person in real life. He does not constantly seek the thrill of an adrenaline rush, like most fighters. GSP was approached by Bloody Elbow’s Eddie Mercado at Universal Studios, and the former two-division champion revealed that he is not a big thrill-seeker. He revealed his fear of rollercoasters as well.

GSP believes that rollercoasters are ‘extreme’ things.

He said, I’m kind of a coward with the rides. I’ve done a lot of extreme things in my life, but I’m the kind of guy that when I have free time I don’t enjoy doing this because I don’t like doing roller-coasters. I’m kind of scared, you know?”

St-Pierre also revealed that he is scared of heights. He does not like it, but it has gotten better with time.

GSP has been very vocal about his struggles with anxiety, especially before his fights inside the octagon. He said that he does not want to feel the stress associated with thrill rides. St-Pierre is a self-proclaimed dinosaur nerd and is a great enthusiast of paleontology. He said that he’d rather indulge in activities that involve his favorite hobbies. GSP claims to avoid any form of superficial fear since he has enough stress in life.
