Kamaru Usman Claims He Could Defeat Georges St-Pierre

Kamaru Usman, the UFC welterweight champion, expressed confidence in his ability to defeat many of the sport's legends, including Georges St-Pierre. During a conversation on his Pound 4 Pound podcast with Henry Cejudo, Usman argued against the concept of a singular "greatest of all time" in mixed martial arts, suggesting that greatness is relative to the era in which a fighter competes.

He noted that different generations of fighters possess varying skill sets, with younger fighters today showcasing advanced techniques. Usman acknowledged his admiration for St-Pierre, stating that he considers St-Pierre the greatest of his time but believes he could have won against him in a hypothetical matchup.

He also mentioned that St-Pierre likely felt the same confidence in his abilities. The discussion was sparked by recent events in the bantamweight division, particularly Petr Yan's title defense against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333.
