Georges St-Pierre, one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves, is expected to announce his formal retirement from MMA today in Montreal.
Without question, “GSP” had some huge wins throughout his career. He was a multi-time UFC welterweight champion, but also became a middleweight titleholder in what will go down as his final fight.
“Rush” fought some of the best the sport ever has had to offer and is a slam dunk for a spot in the UFC’s Hall of Fame. But many people also would put St-Pierre on their “Mt. Rushmore” list of the top four fighters in history.
In our latest Daily Debate, we wondered of all St-Pierre’s epic wins, which one was the most impressive?
Was it the first time he beat Matt Hughes to win the welterweight title at UFC 65? Was it his superfight with then-lightweight champion B.J. Penn at UFC 94 with his welterweight belt on the line? Or was it when he moved up to middleweight after being away from the sport for four years and beat Michael Bisping to become a two-division champion at UFC 217, cementing his legacy?
Or maybe you think it was a different fight – his second title win over Hughes, perhaps, or his title win over Nick Diaz, or Carlos Condit, or Johny Hendricks, or Jake Shields? There are plenty of big moments to choose from.
But one stood out from the pack for sure.
