тАЬI have a little story. I was working with Anthony and you know, Anthony and I, we spend a lot of time doing the same choreography,тАЭ said the sportsman in an interview with Complex Canada. тАЬAnd when you do the choreography, it becomes like a flow. You do things and you expect your partner to move along the same way.тАЭ

St-Pierre continued, тАЬAt one point, I threw a punch and he ducked, but I was not able to pull the punch on time, and Anthony, he has so much on his plateтАФhe has all the lines to remember, the choreography, plus his suit, itтАЩs huge. And I was not able to pull the punch on time, and I hit the top of his head with my elbow.тАЭ
Despite the mixed martial artistтАЩs record 26 career wins, the accidental punch barely made Mackie flinch.
тАЬHeтАЩs made out of steel,тАЭ laughed St-Pierre. тАЬHeтАЩs a really tough guy. When I hit him, my arm went numb, because it touched my nerve. We were joking about it after, I said, тАШI think youтАЩre the only guy in my life that IтАЩve hit, and I got more damaged than the person that I hit.’тАЭ
