Georges St-Pierre vs Kamaru Usman is a fantasy fight that many MMA fans want to see considering both are among the best UFC welterweight champions of all time. The Canadian recently talked about the two fighting and how it would go down.
The Canadian recently spoke to James Lynch and gave a breakdown of how he would approach the fight with the UFC welterweight champion. He notes that Kamaru Usman is an excellent wrestler and loves to pressure his opponents.
“Usman has a style where he’s very good at chain wrestling… He can do it all, he’s very well rounded. His main specialty is wrestling, he’s very good at putting opponents against the fence and working from there. My style, I was more a guy that moves, hit and run, so to speak. That was my game. So my game would have been to put him down, but with fakes and proactive and reactive takedowns. I would have liked, if I would have fought him, to put him on his back because I’ve never seen him there. So that would have been my strategy.”
According to Georges St-Pierre, the key to beating Kamaru Usman is in wrestling. The current UFC welterweight champion has never had anyone force him into a bad position and made him work off of his back.
“Where someone seems stronger than everybody, that’s where you need to attack because sometimes the strength gets transformed into a weak link. Because you never know how he fights on his back. No one has ever exposed him there. So there are guys that are very good wrestlers, but once they’re on their back they’ve never been there so you don’t know how they’ll react. So because of that, that’s what I would have tried to do in a fight.”
