Roach’s feeling stems in part from St-Pierre’s performance Saturday. While it was excellent and he finished Bisping by third-round submission, GSP did tire in the second round. And at welterweight, his cardio was always impeccable.
“I think it was the weight that got to him a little bit,” Roach said. “He’s not used to carrying that much weight. I think it did kick in a little bit quicker than usual. Again, we’ll work everything out and all get together and discuss what’s the best move next for Georges.”
“He was maybe getting a little bit tired,” Roach said. “I think just going into the fight, moving up in the weight division, not sure that’s his best weight division or if he’ll fight there again, but we’ll see how it goes.”
