Kamaru Usman has been compared to former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre for good reason. The Nigerian is one of the most well-rounded welterweight champions of all time and has been dominating.

Georges St-Pierre has recently been asked about Kamaru Usman and he made sure to send a warning. The Canadian also believes the UFC champion is not invincible and could find himself in trouble if he's not careful.

“I believe there’s a lot of guys that can beat Usman,” St-Pierre told MMA News. “I do believe personally Usman is the best right now in the division but that doesn’t mean he is invincible. He needs to always stay on top of the game. It’s hard to be champion and it’s even harder to stay champion. I’m sure if you ask Usman, he’ll tell you the same thing.

“He’s on a tear right now, he looks phenomenal but there’s a lot of guys that can give him a lot of trouble like Khamzat Chimaev. Leon Edwards, maybe. Usman so far has been a puzzle that no one is able to solve. He’s incredible but he needs to stay focused to make sure he never underestimates nobody and trains for every fight like it’s the hardest fight he’s ever had.”

The comments don't come from a bad place and the former UFC welterweight champion knows how difficult it is to remain champion. Georges St-Pierre made sure to stay honest with Kamaru Usman.

“Nobody’s invincible, everybody can be beat,” St-Pierre said of Usman. “It’s not the best fighter that wins the fight very often. It’s the question about the fighter that fights the best the night of the fight and there’s a lot of things that can influence the result of a fight.”
