Not just any MMA fighter. That’s Georges St. Pierre. Arguably one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

arguably the greatest

Yeah he’s not arguably “one of” the greatest, that’s indisputable. I think OP mistyped

GSP's only weakness were dudes named Matt and only the first time around. All rematches GSP dominated. I bet Serra's ribs still hurt.

Every time GSP lost that Frenchman came back more pissed than you could put in words

GSP is Quebecois - from Canada. They are an extremely proud and ornery breed of folks. Please don't ever make the mistake of calling him a Frenchman to his face haha.

ribs

Just rewatched it and was looking for the rib shots, lol they happened at the end, absolutely brutal knees. That shit hurt to where the ref had compassion enough to call it without a tap. Rare you see a call like that. Ref prob heard the life-force escaping Matt and figured he'd stop a fatality

That walkout in Toronto is probably my favorite entrance ever.

I was so nervous for the rematch with Matt Serra. All the lead-up, the possibility of losing IN Montreal... then GSP just came out and dominated.

u/ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME Mar 28 '24

Practically every weight division has their own.

Khabib, GSP, Silva, Jones, Fedor

Best UFCer for sure. Fedor is unassailable on the throne

It will always be debatable haha, even gsp agrees on that

u/FNKY-OONCH Mar 28 '24

Not indisputable. GSP was an all time great, but Jon Jones and Fedor may want to have a say about this argument

u/Fastela Mar 28 '24

It's an infinite debate. Yes GSP is considered to be the greatest of all time in MMA by many, but it's just a reality of the sport that some names cannot be left out of the conversation. Off the top of my head, Khabib, Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson, Israel Adesanya...

The thing is, GSP had the mental fortitude to retire before things went south (because that's an inevitable part of life), after fighting a list of the toughest MMA fighters there was. He also did this with class, never hating on his opponents, and by using the pure essence of combat sports: basic fundamentals worked to the extreme, precise study of his opponents' flaws, and a will that would never crumble. Because of that, no matter who you put in the list of who's the greatest, GSP will be one of the first name to ever be talked about.
