Healthy & wealthy GSP praises ‘very smart’ Kamaru Usman, has no desire to return to MMA

When asked who he wanted to face next in a recent interview with TMZ, Kamaru Usman had one name ready to go. None other than former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion, and all-around MMA legend, Georges St-Pierre.

“Georges is a guy who has put his time in and is considered one of the best and that’s where I aim to be at,” Usman said. “He’s still able to come in and be that opponent where people are unsure. Like, ‘You know what? We don’t know if Usman’s got this one.’”

GSP walked away from MMA, belt in hand, back in 2013 having clearly established his legacy as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history.
