GSP: ‘Rory Deserves Next Title Shot, He Will Be Champion’

By BJPENN.COM News - February 26, 2014


“I do believe Rory deserves the next title shot. I think he deserves it, and I do believe Rory will be champion. The loss to Robbie Lawler made Rory a far more experienced and skilled martial artist. He has all the tools to be champion. I think he actually beat Lawler, who is one of the most dangerous guys in the division. I was not interested in fighting Rory, and Rory was not interested in fighting me,” St-Pierre said. “Rory is my friend. He’s like a brother to me, a training partner. I wish him the best of luck, and if he’s going to fight for the belt, I’m going to be in the gym to help him.”
