That's the first thing you notice about him here, at Robert Drysdale's gym on Rainbow Avenue. St-Pierre is happy. He is smiling. It may seem weird to say that he is glowing, but there you have it. He glows.
He is here today to help one of his sponsors, Hayabusa, launch its new official fight glove for the kickboxing promotion Glory. He laces up the new gloves and goes through a workout session with the kickboxing champion Nieky Holzken and his coach. He smiles a lot, mostly because he's doing this for fun and not because he has to.
