UFC lightweight prospect Sage Northcutt (6-0 MMA) recently praised former UFC welterweight\u00a0champion\u00a0Georges St. Pierre\u00a0as being\u00a0one of the men who inspired him to succeed in mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

\u201cGeorges St-Pierre is one of my favorite fighters,\u201d Northcutt said prior to UFC 192. \u201cHe\u2019s just a phenomenal athlete. If you look at him, he\u2019s ripped up, and he\u2019s in shape. (He has) incredible cardio, conditioning, strength and you can just see he has a little bit of everything and is super well-rounded. He can pick someone apart with a jab and just beat them up, or he can take them down and his takedowns are some of the best in MMA.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, the undefeated 19-year-old will take his talents to the same gym which helped build “GSP” in to a world champion, as he is set to do a week-long trail at Montreal\u2019s Tristar Gym with head coach Firas Zahabi.<\/p>\n

Tristar gym has helped develop many great athletes including current UFC fighters Rory MacDonald, Chad Laprise, John Makdessi and of course Georges St. Pierre (who has taken a ‘break’ from the sport).<\/p>\n

The Canadian gym has also helped prepare the likes of Jon Jones, Kenny Florian, Dennis Kang, David Loiseau and even NHL star defenseman Kris Letang for respective action.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe (Tristar and Sage Northcutt) will be training together for a week and see if we work well together,\u201d <\/em>Firas Zahabi told MMAjunkie<\/a> via text message.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Super” Sage Northcutt made\u00a0a statement in his\u00a0octagon debut earlier this month at UFC 192, when he took just 57-seconds to TKO Francisco Trevino.<\/p>\n

Will Tristar Gym be able to build Northcutt in to a dominant champion like they did with\u00a0GSP? Sound off Penn Nation?<\/p>\n
