MMA legend Georges St-Pierre is known for his unorthodox training methods. The former UFC champion is also no stranger to the cold and decided to thrill fans with a workout video.

‘Rush’ posted a clip on Instagram where he worked out in a literal snowstorm. The fighter was seen training with a gym ball and making some sprints. ‘GSP’ captioned the video, “Training in a snowstorm today has reminded me of something very important. There’s nothing like getting out of your comfort zone in order to improve!

This video only increased the speculation of a fight with Russian lightweight and current UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The comments on the Instagram post were all humorously referring to the fight with Khabib, who is famous for training in extreme weather as well.

Georges St-Pierre: Recent Work

Currently, Georges St-Pierre works on his charity, the GSP foundation, which aims to reduce bullying and encourage youth participation in sports. He has also played some roles in movies, including the fictional supervillain Batroc the Leaper in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This included a cameo in Captain America – The Winter Soldier and now includes a role in the upcoming MCU TV Series, The Falcon, and The Winter Soldier. 

With all of his recent quotes and appearances, it would be hard to rule out a return to the octagon. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is, when Georges St-Pierre fights, the world watches, and if it’s a fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov, the world is in for a wonderful treat.
