Gegard Mousasi wants to run with the best. Strikeforce’s light
heavyweight champion will join UFC welterweight champion Georges St.
Pierre’s training camp this week to assist in the French Canadian’s
preparations for his March 27 bout against Dan Hardy at UFC 111 in
Newark, N.J. Mousasi spoke to Sherdog.com at the L.A. Fitness Expo last
Saturday about working with the pound-for-pound great, what he thinks
he can bring to the table and what he hopes to take away from the
experience. “He’s a phenomenal athlete,” said Mousasi. “I know he’s a
great athlete that tries to improve himself every time… it’s a great
opportunity for me to learn a lot from him.” The 24-year-old fighter
also discussed his plans to fight 6-8 times this year and described how
he plans to juggle appearances in Strikeforce with the Dream light
heavyweight grand prix beginning this May in Japan. With his first
title defense rumored to be in April on CBS, Mousasi also broached a
potential bout with frontrunner Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal
