Earlier today, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport, revealed on The Jim Rome Show that he will be working with world-renowned trainer Freddie Roach at the famed Wildcard Gym in Hollywood, California as he prepares for his next title defense, a rematch with Josh Koscheck. No stranger to the world of mixed martial artists, Roach has also worked with former champions BJ Penn, Andrei Arlovski, Gegard Mousasi and Dan Hardy, to name a few.



St-Pierre now joins boxing's pound-for-pound champion Manny Pacquiao in a rapidly growing roster of champions who currently train at Wildcard. Having also worked with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, it's clear that more and more of the top fighters in both sports are seeking out the services of Roach.
