MONTREAL – UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is pulling out all the stops ahead of UFC 167, and that includes bringing in a fighter with a special type of insight on his opponent, Johny Hendricks. For what many consider to be St-Pierre’s (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC) most difficult fight in years, “Rush” opted to recruit Rick Story to his training camp, the fighter responsible for the lone blemish on Hendricks’ (15-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) MMA record. As the only man to defeat Hendricks, Story (15-7 MMA, 8-5 UFC) believes the decision to use him as a training partner for the last six weeks of camp at Tristar Gym in Montreal was a no-brainer by the champion’s coaching staff.
