UFC legend and former 2 division champion, Georges St-Pierre recently made a cameo in former UFC heavyweight champion, Bas Rutten’s legendary self-defense series. The ‘Rush’ shares a close bond with the former kickboxer, as they have also previously collaborated for Karate videos.

In the video released by ESPN, we could see Rutten taking the help of a man for showing self-defense techniques. In the first posture, we could see Rutten breaking the grip from a grapple hold and using a headbutt to surprise his opponent. The former UFC champ then advises using the knee to hit the stomach.

He then takes the man and uses the bar table to smash his head multiple times. He then shows how we can use an uppercut whenever a person tries to grab hold of our head.

GSP, who has always admired Conor’s work ethic, advised him to not get into another brawl with the ‘Diamond’. According to him, Poirier has somehow figured out to dominate him. Instead, the ‘Rush’ advised ‘The Notorious’ one to challenge another former opponent.
