‘Even Today Nobody Is Doing It’- Daniel Cormier Details a Unique Technique Only Georges St-Pierre Has Mastered in the Octagon

Every fighter in the UFC has a particular move that they are synonymous with. Over the years the said fighters have used it time and time again to wonderful effect and therefore, are associated with the said moves. Jose Aldo and leg kicks, Tony Ferguson and D’Arce chokes, Georges St-Pierre, and his superman punches, are a few examples. 

On the recent episode of ‘Detailed’, a show where two-division world champion Daniel Cormier breaks down minute details in fights or about certain fighters, ‘DC’ discussed the superman punch thrown by ‘GSP’.

He said, “St-Pierre always threw this strike man. I used to try and do this, but it was terrible, I was never good at it. When people throw the superman punch, they usually throw the right hand. You’ve always seen it on the right side. ‘GSP’ would throw lead-leg superman punch and then he would throw a lot of outside leg kicks after.” 

Cormier continued, “You can watch any fight of Georges St-Pierre and you probably saw that combination… You still don’t see it. Like even today, nobody is doing it… I mean it is a thing of beauty to this day with the level of athletes we have in the UFC, guys aren’t hitting this. He was really ahead of his time.”

Unfortunately for fight fans, it is not likely that ‘GSP’ will get back in the ring with anyone besides Khabib Nurmagomedov. Therefore, a third comeback is highly unlikely.
