In a sport where records are sometimes the only thing that is looked at to judge a fighter, not many people with Couture or Penn professional records could cement themselves as Mount Rushmore candidates, but there is no debate here.
Conor McGregor is certainly on the fast track to immortality. The biggest reason he is not in this conversation yet is the sheer amount of fights. A few wins later and that can definitely change. But we are looking at this from today. Georges has simply done more. GSP boasts a professional record of His losses came to two Matts: Hughes and Serra. Unless you face him a second time. Even the best of all time suffer setbacks, but Georges bounced back, completely.
That honor goes to McGregor. He won the interim title after defeating Matt Hughes for the third time and then challenged Serra for the undisputed title. Unlike before, GSP made quick work of Serra and finished him in the second round. After a 3 year lay off from the sport, GSP came back to achieve another piece of UFC glory, the middleweight championship. GSP challenged then-champion, Michael Bisping. Even with the long hiatus, GSP dominated Bisping and won the fight to become a two-division champion.
He holds a in his UFC career. Already a 2nd dan Kyokushin karate black belt at 12, Georges dedicated himself to martial arts and training throughout his teen years. After seeing Royce Gracie fight in at UFC 1, Georges knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life and how he was going to reach those goals: he invested all his energy and all his time at becoming a better version of himself.
He discovered a simple truth: never stopping helps reach goals. Of course GSP accepted. The rematch was on January 31, , at UFC The first round of the fight was scored fairly even. They exchanged some punches.
In the 2nd and 3rd rounds Penn was beginning to poop out like in the first fight, and this gave St Pierre the opportunity to completely dominate BJ Penn for the remainder of the fight. St Pierre was the undisputed winner. During the fight, Penn complained that GSP was too slippery to hold, and his camp accused St Pierre of illegally applying petroleum jelly to his back. All claims were dismissed as false and warranted no disciplinary action or further investigation.
