‘It’s not easy to come back’ - GSP had some advice for UFC champ Francis Ngannou

Few fighters have had a career as remarkable or successful as all time welterweight great Georges St-Pierre. ‘Rush’ put together a welterweight title reign unlike any the UFC had seen before or since, defending his belt successfully nine times over a nearly six-year championship reign. Then, still at the top of his game - and only 32-years-old - he walked away from MMA.

That’s not where the story ended for GSP’s amazing combat sports career, however. Four years later he came back to the Octagon to take on middleweight champion Michael Bisping, submitting the ‘Count’ late in round 3 to take home another UFC title.
