The welterweight division of the UFC was once dominated by one, Georges Rush St-Pierre. During that time, the Canadian made easy work of most of his opponents and embarrassed them in the process. Matt Hughes, Matt Serra, B.J. Penn, Josh Koscheck, Nick Diaz and Michael Bisping are some examples that we're going to take a closer look at, what they said before and after fighting the greatest to ever do it.
GSP didn’t end fights, he ended careers. 100% the GOAT
Fitch, Koscheck, Penn weren't the same men as they were when they fought GSP. especially Fitch. dude was getting wobbled immediately when someone sneezed on his chin.
Khabib Nurmagomedov has never lost a fight or even a round for that matter. I gotta give the GOAT status to Khabib.
They made George a champion to get into Canada...Just like every other champ on UFC's rooster. If you follow the growth of UFC you'll see for yourself it was a marketing ploy.
@@lecielo Khabib himself declared GSP the greatest fighter of the sport, the talks he had to fight GSP disappeared after his win against Bisping.
@@lecieloe lost a round to mcgregor and a round against gaethje he lost 2 against tibau. he had 3 title defences to GSPs 9 and double champ status. khabib was 7-0 fighting 2-1 ali bagov whilst GSP was 7-0 fighting 36-4 matt hughes. GSP is 20-2 in the UFC with both losses avenged khabib was 13-0 in the UFC dont let his padded record fool you. GSP and mighty mouse are above khabib easily.
GSP is the best to have ever fought in the UFC. Never ducked anyone, never shied away from opponents he wasnt so sure he could beat, always put himself in a challenge even though he might lose, never afraid to fight bigger opponents, and was the first to advocate serious drug testing in the UFC.
Lmao no he’s not, best for his time sure
@@austinbatton4849 hes arguably the most well rounded fighter of all time he outwrestled ncaa d1 wrestling champion josh koscheck and won a belt in another division after a long layoff and gsp dominated most of his opponents hes arguably one of the greatest fighters of all time hes for sure top 3
@@austinbatton4849 Thats not how the UFC works..... Its a changing sport, like Georges said himself, if the sport was stagnant it wouldnt be popular. Fighters come in, have succsess and it grows. People bring in new techniques, new pratices, new fighting styles and win and they inspire the next generation to build off those. Even he said he cant compete in todays UFC. Theyve gotten so much better. That said, to judge a fighter based on whether they would be successfull today is ironically a backwards thought process. Micheal Jordan cant be the GOAT, he played 25 years ago, Babe Ruth cant be one of the GOATs, he played 100 years ago. Disounting guys accomplishments by criticizing their era doesnt make sense. Context matters, and Georges took on the best of the best, he was PFP for most of his career, constantly defended his belts and the 2 times he lost, he avenged his losses in dominant fashion. Dont let the out of ring stuff distract you from how great he was in the ring. I personally dont think the UFC can have on singular GOAT because of the tons of factors that go into how great a fighter was, like how good the competition was, how long they fought for, how many titles and defenses and so much more. Along with all that, he was a quality person in and out of the ring. He was dominant in the ring without all the nonsense and trash talk, he respected his opponents, he put everything on the line, he fought the best, he worked his ass off and so much more. When another GOAT candidate in Khabib says GSP was his inspiration, you know you did something right. I do think George is a top candidate in that debate, and thats for a reason. I think Khabib and Jon Jones belong in that debate too among some others, though JJ might not be the best person or example outside of the cage. Both Georges and Khabib showed you can be the best without all that Bs.
@@austinbatton4849 he’s the goat
I’m partial to mighty mouse as the goat but GSP is def on the UFC Mt Rushmore
The classic “I’m not impressed by your performance” made me smile
GSP had some great one liners. " Are you intoxicated"???
GSP was a gentleman, after saying he wasn't impressed, he went to Hugh's dressing room and apologized. GSP was a class act.
You quoted it wrong. You forgot he's Quebecois. "But ehhhhh I am not impressed by your performance"
@@richardmorris7063favorite line of all time
@@asylumental You quoted him wrong too. He doesn't conjugate and says "I'm not impress by your performance".
George telling Michael to fuck off is so gold 🤣
Fr. Menace George
MARSHAAAALL
😂
I’ve got 2 university buddies that wrestled for 🇨🇦. Always calm, cool & collected but they have this I look calm but I’m literally beating on you in my head lol mentality
Bisping was talking before the match, . After the match, he was slobbering ....
So respectful, so wholesome, so deadly. GSP will always be in the welterweight GOAT.
if only khabib carried on
Pure to himself
@@rayyankhan5943 khabib is nothing compared to GSP, Khabib only defended his title 3 times and against only strikers in those defenses
Every fighter has even admitted khabib is the GOAT
@@rayyankhan5943 Where did you get that idea? Most fighters say GSP or Jon is the goat
GSP was the man!!! Corrected his mistakes and won the rematches.
People forget how boring his fights could be tho. Time can do that I guess
Hendricks has something to say
@@evanhgueye-oue2280 THIS.
Plus he was clean compared to his heavily juiced competition
@Evanh Gueye-Oue Hendricks was a cheater as soon as usada came in he was nothing , plus if you were there Johnny tapped in the first 20 sec
As an American I can say I love GSP. One of my all-time favorites.
🇨🇦
🇲🇶
The fact that GSP lost actually speaks to his candidacy for GOAT. Lots of guys can win. But when they lose, how they respond is the metric. GSP not only avenged his losses, he left absolutely no doubt as to who was better. Constantly improving, beating wrestlers on the ground, beating strikers on the feet, not to mention coming back after 4 years and dispatching of Bisping despite basically having diverticulitis.
Very well said.
Absolutely
My wife and I went to four of his fights. Three times in Montreal (Koschek, Condit, Diaz) and his last fight against Bisping at MSG. Greatest of all time. His stamina was and is unmatched.
Lucky bastard
Boozhoo? Or are you French?
Must be uhh nice to have that kind of ehhh money to go to ehh four ufc ppvs ehh
@@MaynardOwnshuh I’m a stupid American.
cobly n nate diaz are great cardio guys too.
He is the GOAT. He went through a stack of legends and he did it with dignity and grace.
and CLEAN
The thing that makes him stand out the most is that he is a Champion outside the Octagon as well. A gentleman. That's what I love about him.
the goat, no question, 0 trashtalk, 0 p.e.ds scandals and just dominance, he practicly invented the shotabox style than khabib inself say he learned from.
Not the goat and pretty much 80% of people know that, khabib or jones that’s it
@@austinbatton4849 nah only casuals will say khabib and jon jones. Real fans know if khabib is on the list, then so is GSP.
Jon Jones Mighty mouse Gsp Khabib Fedor My goat list
@@arinazen697 jon use peds, to me your not the goat if you cheat, mm its on the list but to me gsp its still the goat and fedor, well... to me stepe its the goat heavyweigh just like khabib its the goat of lightweigh
@@austinbatton4849 jon P.E.Ds jons?
My opinion GSP is one of the best fighters in the world ever. But much more than just a fighter he is someone to look up to. Something very important in the days of few role models for young men.
GSP is my role model, I used his workout videos to push me in my fitness journey and read his book while I was in the service. I have a tremendous amount of respect for how humble he is and I continue to look up to him and his ability to push himself to this day.
GSP is my all time favourite fighter. He's the reason I took an interest in MMA and the ufc when I was a teen
Me too...I can't help but think Jean Claude van Damme had something to do with it too though!
@@somedude2319 Yeah that's who he reminds me of
As a Canadian and Fan of the Sport, I am so Proud of George and His Great Career!
Absolutely my friend 🍁🇨🇦🍁
GSP is not Canadian
If you take into account their Martal Artist behavior, mindest, and legacy along with abilities then GSP is easily the GOAT.. He raised the all round level of competition more than anyone IMO.
He's the greatest for sure. In their primes GSP & BJ were both just steps ahead of everyone else, but what GSP did to BJ made Penn look average for the first time. GSP was so good he made other p4p greats look...decent. He is remembered more fondly than BJ because of how he left on top, but BJ could beat anyone on any night as well when he was in top form.
@ROCK SOLID nice that you picked both cheaters lol
Jon jones is the goat
Only old timers remember just how good BJ was. When I first started watching BJ was the man & GSP was a top 5 contender. But GSP eclipsed BJ but we won't forget how great BJ was.
@@diegovera9927 nullified by failed test unfortunately
For me, its exactly why he is above JJ and Khabib. Except for the Hendricks fight, his reign was inconstested.
Matt Serra was literally the luckiest man ever 😂😂😂
Right place @ the right time & a little powerhouse too.
Yup he was VERY VERY lucky that night as the rematch shows Serra looked like an AMATEUR fighting a Legend so so dominant take that Matt and yur boy Sterling is NO CHAMP
1 and 1 with gsp
Vegas had plans that night and GSP made the bank.
Buster Douglas gets my vote...
Growing up as a french Canadian I'm very glad we had gsp representing us. He kept pushing because of his fans and his people at home, that's what made him invincible. How I truly know he was the best is the amount of hate he got for simply winning. When people are jealous of someone that's when you know they are not on the same level. Fighters hated him simply because they could not even see themselves winning against him. Pure jealousy
GSP was the greatest for sure......Thank you Quebec and Canada!
Yup, it’s like MJ, Tom Brady, and Lewis Hamilton who were all at the top and everyone despised them for it… because they were so dominant and if you weren’t a fan of them, you hated them ( I can think of a few more but they really are similar)
GSP united 🇨🇦 ❤️
Vas-y GSP!
I say that same thing about Trump 😮
GSP will always be the prototype of the perfect fighter for me. Above average to strong in every area of the game.
Excellent @ every phase only lacking in 1 punch ko strength. The Jon Jones of welterweight.
For me, he is the GOAT! He checks every single box.......
GSP was so ahead of the time and was fighting with straight dogs at the time. Him and Bones are 1 and 2 no question
Bj & Spider complete my Mt. Rushmore w/ Khabib coming in @5 just because he left a bit early.
But should GOAT status include life outside the ring? Because Jones is definitely not a model.
One of the GOATs if not the GOAT.
Cant be multiple goats
6:58 ''GSP meanwhile, would never lose, ever again''. What a line! Subscribed!
Gave me goosebumps.
Hahahaga right?
The 🐐 Never talked trash, didn't call names out. Just humbled everyone who fought him
George was a class act. A true champion throughout his career. He was humble and gratefull and deserved every win he had. He represented the sport better than anyone before or since through hard work, determination, respect, and dignity inside and outside the octagon. His life outside was a man who cared about people, who would reach out to lend a stranger a helping hand, open doors for little old ladies, and proved to be the bigger man when once confronted with a childhood bully george helped the guy out and showed no annimosity toward him, just care, concern and a helping hand. A True Champ, And I'm Proud To Say, George Is A Fellow Canadian.
All class and respect. Not only a magnificent fighter during an era of dangerous opposition but a true martial artist. Although retired from competitive fighting, an artist he will always remain.
GSP was my favorite. I remember watching him as a kid and being excited to see another victory.
Younger fan don't know how popular Nick Diaz was. In the beginning Nate was Nick's brother, now Nick is Nate's brother.
They both seem like true gentlemen.
George was a great martial artist, as well as a smart fighter. A gentleman and ambassador for the sport both inside and outside of the cage. That is why he will always be the GOAT.🇨🇦
He was the cleanest most honest UFC fighter.
The GOAT of MMA and class.
It's amazing how many top fighters who fought GSP went on to lose their remaining fights to then end up retiring shortly after. Getting beaten by GSP seams to destroy your confidence in the ring. I believe it's because GSP took matches very seriously, he trained his "body & mind" next-level. Most guys just trash talk and do not have the same mindset. You must have both to be a true champion! 🥋🏅🏆
Perfectly stated 👍
Same with Jones a bit
I loved how GSP never backed away from a fight; including against Captain America.
GSP is humble, respectful and down to earth, much respect for him!
I’m an anglophone born and raised in Montreal and this man gave me an even deeper respect for our French Canadian people. A beautiful representation of our nation as a whole. He truly was and still is a legend and a great class act. 👏
One of the reasons GSP makes it to the op of my personal G.O.A.T. list is the fact that he lost two fights. But it's not just him losing the fights, but the fact that he avenged the losses in such a dominant fashion, that he made both Hughes and Serra look like amateurs (I think both are amazing fighters btw). We have seen him fall, and rise even higher, rather than never seeing him fall.
Met GSP on a flight from Miami to Montreal.He was so nice and down to earth.Great person and the best ever.
Absolute class act! And such an entertaining fighter,saved talking for the octagon. A once in a generation fighter
That nick diaz intro 🔥 11:13
He'll always be the GOAT of UFC ❣️
GSP is a true legend of the sport. The greatest of his time.
I loved the music change with the announcement of Nick Diaz. Nice touch, bro.👍🏻
Babe this is my break time I'll chat you later while I focus on this 💯 TFB my man with another cracking performance 💥
Luke's girl just hit my line...😂😂
Your boyfriend’s gonna leave you
GSP is the godfather of mma with his prestige, his achievements and his influence on mma
What a great trip down memory lane. Incredible production quality TFB, all your videos are top tier.
Great video bro. This literally makes me wanna rewatch every GSP fight
Always put GSP at the top of the list of all time greatest MMA fighter. Absolute champion
I really enjoyed this recap of GSP you made. Thanks man. Loved watching GSP.
GOAT, he fought and defeated the toughest opponents in a time where everyone was on PED's.
“Hughes claimed Georges was French.” Can’t think of a worse insult.
He's not even French. Calling him French it's like saying Americans are British, because they speak English. Moronic.
Wait how come. I don’t understand
@@jordandame9442 cheese eating surrender monkeys :D
@@jordandame9442 because no one likes the French😂
@@francisbouchard1168 I love how you assumed I’m American because I said something about your country, Honestly tho I’m surprised you even replied instead of surrendering 😂
The one thing George had going for him that people never bring up is he was just a nice guy. He was terrible at trash talk. He only got into it a little bit to try to sell fights because he felt pressured to do so. Now when you do that and you go in and fight, it's a lot less pressure which causes people to relax me personally with the experience I have fighting anytime I was supposed to win or anytime I was hyped up. It's a lot of pressure but George always went in as the nice guy with nothing to lose necessarily. That's huge
But he's got some of the best.. "I'm not impressed with your performance" "You think I'm afraid of you man?" "It's easy to talk, it's harder to fight" GSP the goat
brilliant video. thanks man!!!
this is the kinda content i needed right now. thanks
TBF consistently just makes fantastic videos every one can get you hyped
The first time I watch MMA, it was GSP. The respect he shows before and after the fight, it's amazing and I admire that. GSP is one of a kind.
Great Vid Man would love to see one on Silva as well
Big respect for that tribute to the real GOAT. In and out the battlefield. Ty❤
I think you definitely should've included his fight against Jon Fitch He was on a long ass win streak and George just dominated him and there wasn't a moment where Jon looked like he had a chance
GSP was a ridiculous streak breaker.
Yeah man it’s like people forget because Fitch was never really the same after GSP put that beat down on him
I didn't think it was possible to destroy a fighter and take their soul through jabs alone. That was until I saw GSP jab Koschek's right eye for 4 rounds, then focused on the left eye until the bell. Koschek was grey and grotesque by the end
Great video. Great homage to the legend.
This channel is sick man I love the editing and the music
Tfb always delivers
He's my pound for pound GOAT 💯
Damn what a sick video! Well done. Got yourself a subscriber
wow i got goosebumps great video bro
such an iconic era. Fitch, Henderson, Hendricks the elder Diaz, Hughs and legend GSP etc. my young adolescent memories at my grandparents house
There is nothing anyone could possibly say to change the fact that GSP was everything every other fighter wanted to be. THE GOAT.!!
Glossed over the Alvarez fight but that was a Masterclass by GSP. Unreal take downs.
u deserve more subs bro, ur mma content is world class, music choice is flawless too
The Fight Business channel is strong, always has been strong, always will be
I need more of this series!!!!
Johny Hendricks I believe won the fight against GSP. GSP face looked like hamburger while Johny didn't have scratch. Not to say gsp wasn't great but he lost that one and George knows it too.
Great video. Thank you
good shit brother, subbed, thanks
GSP is the actual GOAT! 🇨🇦
The Johnny Hendricks part had me dead.
Top notch content right here 🔥
You are a master in your own class! Great video! Well done!
This video is a fucking peace of art, thanks you bro. GSP is the GREASTEST Fighter in MMA History🐐.
GOAT for so many reasons
Bro these videos are levels above anything else on here. Props to you sir Love what you're doin keep this shit comin... Big up from the UK homie. Salute👊💥👌 lighters up 🔥
Great video and editing! Keep this quality and you'll be in the millions before you know it!
Great video! I would've like to seen more on Alves and Condit fights. Alves was roided up, knocking everyone out at that time. Condit was in his prime and a true mixed martial artist, GSP has said that Condit was one of his toughest fights.
Gotta do one of these on Jones next. The timing is perfect too with his comeback on the horizon
But it'll be negative because he'll talk about the cheating, DJ first
@@Suplex479 Jon Jones > DJ > GSP
@@wikz8480 that's the exact opposite order
@@Suplex479 Opinions differ
Truly one of my favorite MMA fighters, and we all know there are many great fighters
Honestly, I do not even care about MMA. But the prrsentation, the soundtracks, the voice, and the knowledge just make me want to watch these videos. Great work man, keep it up!
Impressive the way he didn’t just beat people, he broke them! Many of his opponents’ careers ground to a halt shortly after GSP gave them hell! Joe Calzaghe is well worth watching if you want to discuss GOATs in the fight game…46-0 is some record!
Congrats amaising vídeo cant wait for the next one,GSP for me is the best any way you look at it
This man is literally my hero, he is INSANE!
It's a shame that GSP and Anderson Silva never fought against each other
I’d love to see a Journeyman video or videos, with your lesser regarded but nonetheless respected fighters: Cowboy Cerrone, Stephen Thompson, Chad Mendez, Joe Lauzon, Jim Miller, Uriah Hall, Alexander Gustafson, Korean Zombie.
Bobby green 🙏
@@jessegarcia423 yea! Great suggestion
This is Very Well Done
A what if portion with him and Khabib would have been a dope bonus. Great video.
New fans forget how much a douche Bisping was. His fight with Jorge Rivera is the best example.
New fans only know Bisping as a commentator, time flies
Yep, weakest UFC champion ever. Fluked his way to title, got lucky to win it and them evaded anyone decent and fought 50 year old Hendo. And then got submitted by 170 GSP.
@@imma5761 Hendo arguably beat him too. He battered him at 47 or 48 without TRT.
King of cringe cejudo saying he's top 5 of all time is fkn delusional fir sure...
i mean he was double champ
He wasted time with this break, he should've been pushing his limits. He's working with some of the UFC's best talents, but top 5 is still a long ways away
Dope! I’d love to see this for more legends.
This was an excellent video
Bravo, détermination, motivation et direction! Chapeau man
