Next fight of Georges St-Pierre is not determined yet.
MMA legend and former UFC champion in two weight classes George St. Pierre shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the promotion's flyweight division titleholder Alex Pereira and Jamal Hill to headline the upcoming UFC 300 anniversary event in Las Vegas.
"Pereira has more kickboxing experience and if the fight is going to be a stand-up fight, Alex looks to be the favorite. However, if there will be a lot of wrestling and clinch, then the advantage will be on Jamal's side because he is a versatile fighter. We don't know what he will decide to do in the fight, but fighting in the stand-up with a kickboxing champion is a bad idea," the Canadian told FOX Sports.
Former UFC two weight class champion George St-Pierre answered the question of whether he would be a top fighter these days.
Former UFC champion in two weight categories George St. Pierre expressed the opinion that former middleweight titleholder Robert Whittaker has a high chance of winning the fight with Hamzat Chimaev.
The fight between the Australian and the UAE-based Chechen will take place on June 22 at the UFC's debut event in Saudi Arabia.
"If there is a fighter who can beat Chimaev, it's Robert Whittaker, because if you look at Chimaev, we can compare him to Yoel Romero. Romero was a very good fighter, very explosive and powerful, and Whittaker was his kryptonite.
Stylistically, he is quite capable of doing the same thing to Chimaev to put him at a disadvantage. Robert has a very unusual style that is based on karate.
Fighters who use karate have a completely different style. We use different timing for striking and the way we control the distance seems very unusual for our opponent because most guys in MMA do kickboxing or Muay Thai, so karate gives you an advantage in controlling the distance," Bloody Elbow quoted the Canadian as saying.
