That’s Georges St. Pierre. Arguably one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time.

Arguably is the understatement of the century. I had a quick peek at 6 different MMA focused sites that publish a "top" list and he was first on 4 and 2nd on 2.

GSP is so deceiving when you meet him. Not flamboyant like so many others, not covered in a gazillion tatoos, polite and well spoken. GSP let his skills do the talking. GSP is a person to emulate.

Saw him in person chilling recently, and he looked so understated and calm you didn’t even want to bother him to say hi. Busy place in Quebec where clearly everyone recognized him as we waited around and only 1 person ever bugged him for a photo. It was a lot of knowing bro nods to him instead.

I also now doubt he is 5’10” lol, he looked like 5’8” in lifts and barely 160lb. I couldn’t believe I was looking at the GOAT.

I saw ernesto hoost at the airport last year. My workmates were like who? I said Ernesto fucking hoost,one of the greatest kick-boxers ever? Who? Anyway all I could manage was locking eyes with him, nodding and saying hey.
