Former two division UFC champion Georges St-Pierre retired from MMA today in a decision that generated much discussion across the sports world.
St-Pierre’s (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) retirement from MMA competition is arguably the biggest combat sports story of the year so far. “Rush” is a surefire future UFC Hall of Famer after a career that included a long list of accolades beyond winning titles in the welterweight and middleweight divisions.
The success of the French-Canadian fighter elevated the sport in his home country and made him one of the biggest stars in MMA history, but now he is done as an active competitor and appears to be quite happy with that choice.
History is almost certain to reflect positively on St-Pierre, but how significant were his contributions to the sport, really? Watch the video above as some members of the MMA media weigh in.
