St-Pierre also stated that he would like to see Khamzat Chimaev fight the winner of the rematch:"Well, as a fan I'd like to see Kamaru Usman get a revenge because if someone deserves it, it's him. And maybe perhaps Chimaev have a shot against the winner of this fight."Many fans have compared Kamaru Usman's recent loss against Edwards to Georges St-Pierre's devastating first-round KO loss against Matt Serra. However, 'GSP' exacted revenge next year when he defeated Serra with a second-round TKO at UFC 83. When asked about his advice for 'The Nigerian Nightmare', St-Pierre had this to say:"I know it's a hard time for him, because when you lose, you know, it's not a pleasant experience. But he has an opportunity to take that and turn it around to a 180 degree. And I think if he is successful it will help his legacy... Everybody makes mistakes and I'm not saying that to diminish Leon Edwards... What I am saying is Usman can learn from that experience and come back better next time."You can check out 'GSP's full interview with The Schmo below:
