Zahabi: GSP can still beat anybody
Georges St-Pierre: “I think he’s got plenty of fighting left. He’s a beast, man. You see him in the practice room, he’s a beast. I don’t think he’s slowing down a bit.”
Appearing on the MMA Hour, longtime coach Firas Zahabi believes there is ‘plenty of fight’ left in Georges St-Pierre and he can still beat anyone in the division:
“If Georges preps with a training camp, he’ll beat anybody,” he said. “I really feel he’s the best of the best. I think he does his training camp, he prepares, and it’s not calling out Robbie or anybody else, I think he’s the best. Him and Rory, I believe in my guys. If they get prepped, they will win.”
“I think Georges loves the competition, he loves the adventure. He’d be doing it because he loves to do it. Who cares if people don’t think you’re perfect. What if something bad happens? So what. You’re still Georges St-Pierre, it doesn’t change anything. And I don’t think anything bad will happen, but at worst, I think he could live with it. It’s not the end of the world. He’s going to do what he loves to do, what feels good.”
Asked if it was his gut feeling that St-Pierre would return, Zahabi said he really believed the pride of Canada was coming back.
“I think so,” he said. “I think he’s got plenty of fighting left. He’s a beast, man. You see him in the practice room, he’s a beast. I don’t think he’s slowing down a bit.”
