Georges St-Pierre is a retired MMA legend, a two-division champion in the UFC with a nearly impeccable professional record of 26 and 2, and an unprecedented reputation among MMA fans, fellow fighters, and pundits. He is an athlete who has transcended his sport, a famous face, appearing in feature films and rising to a level of adoration that few MMA fighters ever see. Still held up as one of MMA’s best and brightest, St-Pierre has often been called out by younger champions since his retirement, eager to test their mettle against his incredible skill. So far, he has not emerged from the shadows to face any of them, but only time will tell. What lies at the heart of someone like Georges St-Pierre to give them such an incredible reputation? How did he rise through the UFC rankings to not only gain championships and titles, but also the hearts of millions of fans and fellow fighters? How does perfection play a role in St-Pierre’s remarkable career? St-Pierre joined the UFC in 2004 and made a splash immediately in the welterweight division, winning his first few fights. The first defeat of his professional career came early on, by submission, to the more experienced Matt Hughes. Defeat was not a taste that St-Pierre would get used to, however, and he would go on to fight his way through the division and rematch against Hughes, this time emerging victorious to become the UFC Welterweight Champion in 2006. St-Pierre’s second loss came at the hands of Matt Serra the following year, losing the championship just as quickly as he had won it. Citing personal issues as the reason for lack of focus, St-Pierre once again pushed through the division to rematch Serra in 2008. This time he regained and unified the Welterweight Championship, and would reign undefeated as champion until voluntarily vacating the title in 2013 and taking a break from the limelight. At this point in his career he held the record for most wins in title bouts in UFC history, as well as the second longest combined title streak at 2,204 days.
