Heavy.com spoke to Georges St. Pierre's trainer, Firas Zahabi, and it appears that they are building a real life Terminator up in Quebec:
Firas Zahabi: ...We're looking to bring in Gegard Mousasi who is at 205 to work with Georges. I'm reaching out for big, strong guys to challenge him.
Heavy.com: This problem has been growing for some time. I remember Rashad Evans saying awhile ago that he had trouble putting Georges on his back. And he's a 205 pound guy.
Firas Zahabi: I can count on one hand the times we've seen Georges on his back. The times he is on his back, I usually force him to go on his back. Sometimes when we do situational sparring I'll start him there, because otherwise he doesn't see much time on his back. I want to make sure he has no weaknesses because you never know what will happen in a fight.
GSP and Gegard Mousasi training together? That means we are just three more fighters away from being able to build Voltron!
Update: Mousasi is now training with St. Pierre.
