UFC welterweight No. 1 contender Georges St. Pierre (Pictures) and The Ultimate Fighter 4 middleweight winner Travis Lutter (Pictures) join Beatdown's TJ De Santis and Sherdog.com editor Josh Gross.

St. Pierre met Matt Hughes (Pictures) in October of 2004 at UFC 50. The French-Canadian fighter was fairly new to the sport and had never faced someone of Hughes' caliber. Since losing via armbar at 4:59 in the first round "Rush" has taken out the likes of Jason Miller, Frank Trigg (Pictures), B.J. Penn (Pictures), and became the first man to stop Sean Sherk (Pictures), establishing himself as the next best thing to Hughes at 170 pounds.

This Saturday at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. "GSP" will get his shot at redemption and the welterweight title. Georges joins TJ and Josh to talk about his evolution as a fighter, his road to the title, and how he feels the new Georges St. Pierre (Pictures) matches up with a man who could arguably be the best fighter ever to compete at 170 pounds.

Lutter defeated Patrick Cote (Pictures) to capture a title shot against newly crowned 185-pound champion Anderson Silva. Lutter discusses his TUF-winning effort, a fight against Silva, and how life has changed since the reality show.

TJ and Josh also touch on the announcement that Showtime will begin broadcasting live mixed martial arts cards in 2007. And they break down Saturday's UFC 65 card.
