"The ultimate apex predator of mixed martial arts is back and he’s determined to find out who’s the best pound for pound fighter in history — among dinosaurs, that is."
While many would assume that St-Pierre would be the modern-day equivalent of a T. rex, he says he wouldn't want to be that particular predator. "I wouldn't want to be a T. rex because T. rex had the hardest life ever," he says. "They hunted some of the most dangerous and ferocious herbivores and they had to compete with other T. rexes. It was probably the hardest life ever."
St-Pierre says he would prefer to have been a dromaeosaurus, a small but nasty dinosaur that lived in the late Cretaceous. Think of a meaner version of the velociraptors from Jurassic Park and you’ll have the idea. “It was very smart,” St-Pierre says. “Pound for pound, it was probably the best killing machine ever.”

“Even the insects, they could kill us,” he said. “I wouldn't last a day, and it would be a bad day.”
“You know in my sport I try to be, so to speak, the apex predator in the octagon,” St-Pierre explained. “So with this show, I'm on a quest to find out who is the all-time, baddest, meanest apex predator that ever lived.

"He was also a fantastic nerd, a man who despite his chiseled frame, athletic genius, barely concealed rage, and millions of dollars, was willing to admit that he was more interested in dinosaurs than sports."
Now, with MMA light years away from the shadowy spectacle it was when GSP made his UFC debut back in 2004 (his job done, I guess), the former champion of the world has finally found a way to spin his world-changing success in the Octagon into an opportunity to indulge his first and truest love. On April 14th, the History Channel will be premiering a new two-part television special called The Boneyard With Georges St-Pierre in which the former fighter will travel the world looking for dinosaur bones. After two years of self-imposed exile the world's most dangerous nerd has found a new home.
