gegard-mousasiGegard Mousasi will join Georges St. Pierre in Miami this week to assist the UFC welterweight champion for a part of his training camp in preparation for St. Pierre’s title defense against Dan Hardy at UFC 111 on March 27 in Newark, N.J.

Currently in Glendale, Calif., preparing for an appearance on HDNet’s “Inside MMA” which airs Friday, the Strikeforce light heavyweight champion said he will spend a few days with St. Pierre’s team in Miami, where Mousasi will also attend Strikeforce’s Saturday event at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla. Then, Mousasi will fly with the team to Las Vegas for an additional week of training.

The trip marks the first time the Iranian-born Armenian fighter will train stateside. Mousasi has traveled to Russia to work with the world’s No. 1 heavyweight, Fedor Emelianenko, for brief spurts, but has kept the majority of his camps in Holland, where he resides.
