Georges St-Pierre in Captain America – A Detailed Insight by Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson

Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson will headline the main event with Geoff Neal in a welterweight bout on UFC Fight Night on December 19. Ahead of this fight, ‘Wonderboy’, shot for a video with MMA On Point, wherein he reacted to MMA fighters in action-packed movies. In this video, Thompson broke down UFC’s biggest legend, Georges St-Pierre from an action scene from the film Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

In this film, Georges St-Pierre played a villain named ‘Batroc – The Leaper’.

Wonderboy said, “I was actually really excited to see this because ‘GSP’ is a buddy of mine but to see him online like a good movie like this, like a legit movie was super cool. These are like my all-time favorite movies, by the way. All the Avengers, Captain America.”

He continued, “Looks like GSP got some Capoeira action going to. Okay for one, that was definitely not ‘GSP’ doing that butterfly twist, gotta be a stuntman. I think GSP can do like a backflip but he can’t do a butterfly twist so that was definitely stunt man.”

Thompson broke down every scene from this mini clip. He admired GSP’s conventional kicks, knees, quick backflips, and superman punches. Georges St-Pierre’s whole get-up in this film seemed to intimidate ‘Wonderboy’ to the next level.

Thompson concluded, “He looks like a scary GSP. I’ve never seen himself frightening before. You can’t tell me that’s not frightening! If he looks at you across the cage like that, you gonna die.”
