Georges St-Pierre on Sage Northcutt: 'I think he's going to be great'

After Sage Northcutt made a big splash in his UFC debut, the Texas teenager made it clear there was one UFC fighter who inspired him more than the rest: Georges St-Pierre.

It's not tough to see why, as both come from karate backgrounds.

In the weeks since his swift UFC 192 knockout of Francisco Trevino, the 19-year-old Northcutt got his chance to work with St-Pierre, as the Houston-area native made a trip up to Montreal to train at the famed TriStar Gym.

And St-Pierre says he likes what he saw from Northcutt in the gym.
