Georges St-Pierre is considered one of the most respectful UFC fighters ever and is widely regarded as the sport’s GOAT. He retired years ago after winning the middleweight championship back at UFC 217, closing his career on a historic high while earning admiration. Since then, he has remained a respected ambassador for MMA, going viral after an interview gained widespread attention.

GSP recently did a live stream with popular influencer Adin Ross, where they talked about several topics. During the conversation, the Canadian legend talked about how he dealt with a racist at a pub. The veteran talked about how someone approached him and said something inappropriate, and he had to reply.

He said something to me that I can’t really say. It’s something very racist. He wanted to beat me up or something. So I got in the bathroom and he followed me. I fought a lot on the streets and you always have to hit the first. Boom and he fall unconscious. I grab him before he hit the floor.

Georges St-Pierre is one of the most complete fighters in UFC history, showcasing exceptional skill and intelligence across every performance. He has been part of several unforgettable wars inside the Octagon, consistently demonstrating remarkable resilience and championship mentality against elite opponents.

The fighter remains widely respected for his professionalism, strategic brilliance, and ability to evolve continually throughout a legendary career. As a young boy, Georges St-Pierre began training in karate and martial arts to defend himself from constant school bullying.

Years later, he encountered his childhood bully on the street, recognised the struggling man, and responded with unexpected compassion despite their difficult history. That emotional meeting became a turning point, inspiring St-Pierre to transform past suffering into purpose through helping vulnerable youth with his foundation.

That discipline is why he refused to go full out against the racist person, choosing restraint instead of unnecessary violence.

Georges St-Pierre talked about Islam Makhachev’s performance at UFC 322

Islam Makhachev delivered a composed master-class against Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322, controlling every exchange with relentless pressure. He applied repeated takedowns and dominant top-control that fully neutralised the Australian’s striking rhythm, leaving little opportunity for significant offensive responses.

His disciplined wrestling approach steadily broke down Maddalena’s confidence, showcasing technical superiority rather than relying on explosive moments. With the victory, Makhachev captured the welterweight title and secured double-champion status, joining an elite group of multi-division UFC champions.

Many fans criticised his performance as boring due to minimal striking fireworks, misunderstanding the strategic brilliance underlying his suffocating grappling attack. Georges St-Pierre praised the display as exceptional, emphasising that true martial artistry lies in absolute technical control rather than unnecessary theatrical aggression.

I was there, I witnessed his performance. It was freaking brilliant. Unbelievable. I don’t think he even took a punch. People who say the fight was boring, I’m sorry, because they don’t know the art of fighting. They have no idea. Islam’s performance was freaking amazing. Going up in a weight class and beating JDM like he did is freaking hard

St-Pierre is considered one of the most successful welterweights ever, setting unrivalled standards that Makhachev now hopes to reach. Debates once focused on a potential dream fight between St-Pierre and Khabib Nurmagomedov, but comparisons now increasingly highlight GSP versus Makhachev.

It will be interesting to see how far the determined Dagestani manages to dominate the welterweight division throughout his championship reign.
