Not only did Freddie Roach play a part in brokering the deal that brought Georges St-Pierre back to the UFC, but the legendary boxing trainer is also going to serve as one of St-Pierre’s cornermen when “Rush” challenges Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title on Nov. 4 at UFC 217.
Roach confirmed the news Thursday on a special on-the-road edition of The MMA Hour, revealing that has already begun working with St-Pierre in preparation for the bout and will continue to do so as the Madison Square Garden date approaches.
“That’s a done deal,” Roach said on The MMA Hour. “We’ve made a deal, I’m going to fly up to Montreal at least three days every week until the fight, and I’ll work with him every day I’m up there.”
