Georges St.Pierre is "Scary" good, trainer reaches out to Gegard Mousasi for help | read this item

When a fighter is training for a upcoming fight it is always common sense he needs someone to push his pace and make him better, but when your as good as Georges St.Pierre that is no easy task.

In a interview with Heavy.com St.Pierre’s trainer Firas Zahabi spoke about the trouble of finding the UFC welterweight champion suitable training partners.

“It’s getting scary. Georges is getting better and better, believe it or not. If I compare him to last year he is far beyond where he was. He’s a very scary individual. I can’t even put him in with anybody his size. I have to bring in guys who are much bigger, much stronger. I had Nate Marquardt and Rashad Evans come in last week to challenge Georges. It’s getting very tricky now. I can’t put him with another welterweight because there is no other welterweight right now I can bring in who can make Georges sweat. We’re looking to bring in Gegard Mousasi who is at 205 to work with Georges. I’m reaching out for big, strong guys to challenge him.”

I would love to see a training session between Georges St.Pierre and the StrikeForce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi, that is a lot of talent on one gym mat.

I imagine the training could help out Mousasi as well, with possible challenges in the future from “King Mo” Muhammed Lawal and Dan Henderson who have extensive wrestling pedigrees.

I will keep you up to date if I find out Mousasi accepts the offer to train with St.Pierre in the future at TriStar.

Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see.

I think Mousasi is the most overated fighter in the world today cause he hasnt beaten anyone

He was losing to Kang and losing to Jacare he got really lucky with Jacare with that gay up kick

  I want to see Machida vs Mousasi but after the Fedor is done he will be M-1’s new donkey and will be used to extort the UFC for co-promotion.
