Firas Zahabi Looking To Bring In Gegard Mousasi To Train With Georges St. Pierre

Firas Zahabi, one of the trainers of UFC welterweight chmapion Georges St. Pierre, told Heavy.com he is looking to bring in Gegard Mousasi to help St. Pierre prepare for his upcoming title defense at UFC 111 against Dan Hardy.

He said:

“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. I’m 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.”

UFC 111: St. Pierre vs. Hardy is scheduled for March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
