UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre had a change in opponents for his upcoming UFC 137 title defense, going from facing Nick Diaz to now meeting Carlos Condit at the upcoming October 29 event. After the switch was made to Condit, GSP called in former opponent Dan ‘The Outlaw’ Hardy to him prepare.
Both pictured here at the Tri-Star gym in Montreal had squared off back in March of last year in the headliner of UFC 111 in Newark, New Jersey. St-Pierre earned a one-sided unanimous decision at the time.

– Guess who landed in town yesterday night to come train with me?for sure he’ll bring the much needed intensity to get prepared…Dan Hardy!!!

– I can see why George is the champ, he has a great team around him. I’ve done one session and I’m already learning a lot.
I guess we’ll have to see come October 29 to see if the addition of ‘The Outlaw’ to the champs camp helped him or not. Should be entertaining as always!
