Freddie Roach, who is training Georges St-Pierre in his comeback bid, hinted Thursday in an interview with TMZ Sports that the former welterweight champion could clash with Conor McGregor when he returns to the Octagon.
After Roach was asked what he thought of McGregor’s boxing skills, Manny Pacquiao’s longtime trainer said his new project would drop The Notorious when they meet.
“GSP’s gonna kick his ass anyway,” he said.
UFC has since denied that there could be any fight between the two in the works.
“GSP is coming back after four years off,” the company told TMZ. “Conor is looking to defend his title. There is zero talk about GSP vs. Conor.”
