UFC: Georges St-Pierre could ‘kill anybody’ and step in if Covington or Usman injured, thinks coach
- Firas Zahabi says retired former two-weight UFC champion is ‘the world’s greatest martial artist’
- ‘He’s a very young 38-year-old. I would tell you he’s 20 years old’
Georges St-Pierre’s coach has claimed the former UFC two-weight champion would have no problem stepping in at UFC 245 if Colby Covington or Kamaru Usman got injured.
St-Pierre hung up his gloves for the second time after coming out of retirement to win Michael Bisping’s middleweight title in November 2017.
Tristar Gym head coach Firas Zahabi thinks the 38-year-old would be willing and able to win his old welterweight title back though on short notice later this month.
“He trains all the time, he’s a machine,” Zahabi told UFC commentator Joe Rogan on the JRE MMA Show. “Dude, I’m telling you, if Usman or Colby gets injured, like … I dunno, I don’t wanna talk for Georges, but he can kill anybody this man.
“He’s the world’s greatest martial artist. I’m telling you, he’s a monster. I was training with him on Saturday. He’s an animal.
