Georges St-Pierre is singing the praises of Khamzat Chimaev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Chimaev is a rising force in the UFC’s welterweight division. He has a perfect pro MMA record of 11-0 and is coming off a gritty victory over Gilbert Burns.<\/p>\n

During a UFC Paris Q&A, St-Pierre was asked if he thinks Chimaev is championship material. GSP left no doubt on how he feels about “Borz” (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Khamzat is very good,\u201d St-Pierre told fans and media during a Q&A on Friday in Paris. \u201cHe\u2019s got all the skills. He\u2019s very good, and he showcased incredible durability and great mental strength in his last fight when he fought Gilbert Burns, because he was pushed to the limit, and that\u2019s when you recognize a true warrior, a true champion than a contender. When he faced those moments of adversity, some collapse, but some push through and succeed, and he proved it in his last fight. He\u2019s very, very good.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Chimaev will collide with Nate Diaz<\/a> in the main event of UFC 279 on September 10. St-Pierre shared what he expects to see from Chimaev in the bout.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis fight is at welterweight. I think the odds will be towards Chimaev,\u201d St-Pierre said. \u201cI think it favors him because of that. However, Nate Diaz, you can never count him out. He\u2019s very well-rounded. He\u2019s very durable, and it takes a lot to try and put him away. Khamzat is gonna be a tough challenge because he only went the distance in his last fight, I believe, and I think he grew incredibly from that fight. He learned a lot.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think we\u2019re gonna see a better version of Khamzat, still better than what he was, and so it\u2019s gonna be an interesting fight. But if I would have to bet on that fight, of course, I have to go with the odds and favor Khamzat Chimaev.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
