Georges St-Pierre

Georges St-Pierre is widely regarded as the greatest welterweight in MMA history and one of the best fighters the sport has ever produced. A flawlessly complete athlete with elite wrestling, a punishing jab, world-class fight IQ and unmatched conditioning, 'GSP' dominated the UFC welterweight division for years, defending the title a record number of times against the very best, from Matt Hughes and BJ Penn to Josh Koscheck and Nick Diaz.

He stepped away on top after a controversial war with Johny Hendricks, then returned years later to win the middleweight title from Michael Bisping in 2017, retiring as a two-division champion and first-ballot Hall of Famer. The only knock fans ever had was a cautious, control-heavy approach in some defenses, but his place among the all-time greats is beyond dispute.
