Team Greg Jackson: Diego Sanchez out, Georges St. Pierre in!

Georges St. Pierre has decided to train full-time with successful mixed martial arts trainer Greg Jackson in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to FightNetwork.com.

“Rush” has trained with Team Jackson on-and-off since earlier this year. The dynamic camp includes notables such as Nate Marquardt, Rashad Evans, Keith Jardine and Joey Villasenor, among others.

Here’s the snip:

“Highly regarded New Mexico coach Greg Jackson says he and his fighters expect to log a lot of air miles to Montreal in the coming months, with the recent addition of Quebec native Georges St. Pierre to his stable. St. Pierre recently dropped his trainer, ex-Soviet Special Forces sniper Victor Vargotsky, in favor of the Albuquerque-based Jackson….”

This is just the latest change for the Canadian since losing his welterweight title to Matt Serra at UFC 69 in April. In fact, since that time he has parted ways with long-time manager, Stephane Patry, and has begun seeing a sports psychologist to overcome some mental hurdles.

St. Pierre and the fans will get to see if these tweaks have made any difference as early as this weekend when he clashes with Josh Koscheck at UFC 74: “Respect” at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

i think this is a good move for him!

i don't know what to make of this. that's cool he's finally with a mma camp but, is he trying to place the blame on someone else for getting caught or not taking someone seriously?

i can't hate on gsp. dude is a stand up guy. the only time i will be against him is when he fights (see avatar).
