Former UFC title challenger recently detailed how his training changed when he clashed against Georges St-Pierre for his welterweight championship. He noted that it was an incredible opportunity that saw him transform his body to ensure he was prepared for the Canadian.
'Rush' is regarded by many as the greatest welterweight of all time and cemented his legacy in the division during his second reign as welterweight champion. He successfully retained his title against several legends at 170 pounds and even did so by beating them with their own strengths.
Among the fighters who challenged St-Pierre during his record-setting welterweight title reign was Carlos Condit.
During his latest appearance on Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson's JAXXON PODCAST, the former WEC welterweight champion detailed how his training changed when he challenged St-Pierre. Condit mentioned that although he transformed his body and devoted more time to strength and conditioning, it still had a negative effect:

"Yeah, I'd been working with the strength coach in Albuquerque, Adrian Gonzalez for a while...We tuned in for 'GSP', put some weight in. I actually had a terrible weight cut for my 'GSP' fight. [I] put a bunch of muscle on and then hadn't anticipated the weight cut cause I'd really never had a problem making 170 [pounds]. And then, of course, your body changes, the composition changes and you gotta change the formula a little bit and I hadn't."
