Den före detta welterviktsmästaren Georges St-Pierre och hans tränare Firas Zahabi dök nyligen upp på ”Inside MMA”, då man diskuterade hans möjliga comeback i oktagonen. Zahabi berättade då att St-Pierre är helt frisk, tränar 3 gånger i veckan på elitnivå och är i toppform.
Det här berättade Zahabi, via ”MMAMania”:
He doesn’t have to take any breaks to do a lot of sport-specific training. He does a lot of fitness. Every time we train with him he looks in better shape than he was at his peak.
He’s training like he used to train when he was preparing for a fight. I think he’ll come back and he’ll do it, but I think he’ll do it for the adventure. He’s not very much into a title. He’s not very much interested in being the most famous guy. That’s not his thing. He loves the thrill of competition. I just don’t think he will walk away.
Me and him both want the same thing. We both want this sport to be 100 percent clean. I think why originally he needed a break was because he had a very imbalanced life. It was just training all the time, sacrifice all the time. He needed to evolve and just have a personal life. But, the lack of drug testing is something that has always bothered him. He has always been suspicious of certain guys he’s fought. Let’s face it, how many guys have been caught in MMA on drugs? You know, there’s been a lot.
When they put his name on a poster again there’s gonna have to be another colossal name, an historical name next to it.
St-Pierre gick senast match när han mötte Johny Hendricks under UFC 167 i slutet av 2013. Han står nu med 12 raka vinster och totalt 25 vinster och 2 förluster.
