Former UFC interim lightweight title challenger Kevin Lee is on a two-fight losing streak and has thus decided to change up camps.<\/p>\n

After dropping his last fight to Rafael dos Anjos,<\/a> in a bout that served as his welterweight debut, “The Motown Phenom” is now set to train at TriStar with Georges St-Pierre for his next fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got done doing this crazy seven-week tour of going around to different camps,\u201d Lee said in his\u00a0appearance on Submission Radio<\/a>. \u201cI went to LA, I went to Phoenix, I went to Denver, I went to Montreal. I\u2019m back in Vegas now.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his search, Lee realized it was Montreal and TriStar that suited him the best. Part of the reason was learning under Firas Zahabi who is considered one of the top coaches in MMA.<\/p>\n

\u201c(I went) to try and find that guy out there, that somebody who would really speak to me. And to be honest, I feel like I did in Montreal with Tristar and Firas Zahabi,\u201d Lee said. \u201cJust having him and being around him and getting to pick his brain and his mind and seeing how it works. I feel like that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been missing. I know that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been missing a little bit ever since my coach Robert Follis passed, I haven\u2019t had that guy to really guide me and show me the correct way of what to do. I\u2019ve just been kind of trying to listen to myself and figure I got it enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kevin Lee: GSP is ‘going to train with me a lot’<\/h3>\n

Another reason why he made the move is to train with one of the greatest fighters ever in Georges St-Pierre. Although Lee had called him out for a fight<\/a>, he is now glad to be learning from him and continuing to grow as an MMA fighter.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe understands it. We\u2019re martial artists, we\u2019re competitors,\u201d Lee said. \u201cIf I\u2019m not trying to push myself to the limit and I\u2019m not trying to fight the best that\u2019s out there, then I feel like he wouldn\u2019t understand me as much. I think he\u2019s got the same kind of fire in him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s going to train with me a lot. I feel like he\u2019ll be another one of those great minds that I can kind of pick,\u201d he added. \u201cSeeing what makes him tick and what made him such a great champion, those are the things that I think will boost me to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

For right now, Kevin Lee says he has no opponents in mind<\/a> for his next fight. But, he is hoping to return to the Octagon in October.<\/p>\n
