In discussing Georges St-Pierre’s induction to the UFC Hall of Fame, UFC president Dana White reminisced about what St-Pierre met to the UFC and MMA, but mostly to the UFC.
“He became a huge star for us,” White said during the UFC 266 pre-fight press conference last week in Las Vegas. “(St-Pierre) broke tons of records and that whole time period of Georges St-Pierre and opening Canada was a very massive part of the history of the sport and a very fun time for me, my staff and obviously the fans. He’s one of the greatest human beings on the planet.
