Former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre is ranked at No. 5 in the official UFC pound-for-pound rankings but many fans consider him the greatest fighter of all time.
St-Pierre is, without a doubt, the greatest welterweight champion in UFC history, having ruled the throne for five years and defended his 170-pound title a record breaking nine times.
The Canadian fan favorite also beat Michael Bisping to win the middleweight title last year, etching his name into the history books as one of the few men to win belts in two separate weight classes.
Despite his unparalleled dominance in the welterweight division and his acquisition of a second world title at UFC 217, ‘Rush’ does not consider himself the ‘greatest’ fighter of his era, acknowledging favorable circumstances and timing played a crucial role in his success.
