Usman revealed how he helped Hendricks prepare for his fight with St. Pierre

Kamaru Usman, the former UFC welterweight champion, revealed that he helped former featherweight titleholder Jimmie Hendricks prepare for his fight with George St. Pierre.

"I actually studied George a lot even before I was just thinking about signing in the UFC. I had to study him because I was invited to Johnny Hendricks' training camp. I had the fate of being his main sparring partner. I was invited to emulate George. My goal was to do everything in my power to help Johnny, so I had to watch you closely. It didn't matter what George's level was, Johny Hendricks is a fighting champion, but I had an understanding that you were going to step up and do whatever it took to beat him," MMA Fighting quoted Usman as saying.
