MONTREAL — Like millions of others, Daniel Cormier has watched in awe at the excellence of UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. Unlike the masses, however, Cormier has earned the right to either critique or praise perhaps the most lauded part of GSP’s game, his wrestling.
While Cormier is known to some fans as a rising Strikeforce heavyweight, he’s also a two-time US Olympian in freestyle wrestling.
Count him among the people that are stunned by St. Pierre’s rapid wrestling progression despite no background in the discipline, but he parts ways with the group at the suggestion that GSP is a better wrestler than his UFC 124 opponent, Josh Koscheck.
