    Georges St-Pierre is the GOAT of MMA and the UFC, even when compared to other greats like Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Anderson Silva, Demetrious Johnson and other Greats in MMA. GSP's story from losing to Matt Hughes and Matt Serra, to avenging both his losses and becoming the dominant champion of welterweight is inspiring to UFC fighters of the modern era. And even if we consider Georges St-Pierre's greatest criticisms, those being his boring wrestling, lack of finishes, and never moving up in weight, those critiques were all put to bed when GSP submitted Michael Bisping and became a UFC double champion (2-division champion) of both the UFC middleweight division and the UFC welterweight division. GSP is not only the greatest UFC welterweight, and greatest UFC fighter ever but his vulnerability and the way he carries himself as a representative of the sport makes him stand tall among the greatest UFC fighters ever. In this Georges St-Pierre Documentary, I dive into GSP's career and prove that he is the greatest UFC fighter ever over Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Demetrious Mighty Mouse Johnson.

      GSP is my all time favourite fighter (maybe I’m biased because I’m Canadian) but you did a hell of a job with this doc, wow! I think you nailed it and thank you for making it. I can’t say for certain he is the goat, but I definitely can’t say he isn’t. No asterisk like Jones with the roids, he ended his career on a high unlike the Spider, and he defended his belt way more than Kahbib. Out of these 4 fighters, GSP and Bones are the only two, 2 weight champs. For me I have to lean towards GSP. I don’t think Canada will ever have a more dominant champ. Thanks for making this, you’ve earned another sub.

    GSP did not do Olympic wrestling, or any Top Tier wrestling, but has the (Most Take Downs in UFC History) simply with his amazing timing on his opponents footwork after causing a distraction of some sort. His IQ was incredible to the incredible! He could quite literally put together a nice game plan on how to beat any style of fighter from Conor, to Khabib Styles, and worked hard at just that throughout his Marvelous career. Takes 3+ years off from fighting, and then returns only to snatch the Middleweight Title like "WHAT?" Becomes a Double Champ, and makes history. Today, GSP still works hard at grappling, and sharpening his submissions and even still submit 90% or more of the current top 20 in Welterweight with NO PROBLEM. George St. Pierre, and Randy Couture both started the New Style of combat we know today... (Good Take Downs, and Ground N Pounding, can beat Good Striking, and also beat Good Wrestling as well through submissions after the Take Down)
    Whenever George was WALKING the octagon, he looked like the MMA Messiah.
    Whenever George was FIGHTING in the octagon, he looked like the future of fighting, and was conditioned better than all of his opponents.
    George demanded to right the 2 wrongs he suffered in the octagon FAST to clear up any doubt of him, and then went on to win and become a Undisputed Double Champ.
    If you were a better striker than George.... It's fine, he would take you down all night and leave a mark on you each time he does it.
    If you were a better wrestler than George... It's fine, he would take you down 1st and force you to strike more than you want and he would TKO you or submit you once he fatigued you.
    If you were well rounded in both Striking and Wrestling, then George used his gymnanast mentality, and would Out Work you until you fatigue from his relentless pressure and feints. George had untouchable stamina and used it to exhaust his opponents.
    We all have our picks of who the GOAT is or should be. George has the Most Take Downs in UFC History, and 99% of future fighters won't even touch his record in that category. George also is in the (Top 5 in UFC History) in several other HUGE categories like, (Title Defenses), (Title Wins), (Double Champ), (Control Time over the Opponent), (Significant Strikes Landed %), (Consecutive Rounds Won), and a few others as well. He simply fought well in all aspects of a fight, and had a counter for everything.
    George looked a Champion before he was a Champion. He carried himself WELL, and fought like a Champion every single time.
    To me, George St. Pierre is the GOAT of the UFC.
    To me, George St. Pierre has the highest IQ in MMA.
    To me, George did this the right way, (RESPECTFULLY AND WITH BRAVERY) as well as trying to be a Role Model for Kids and Young Adults in Gymnastics.
    To me, I seriously doubt I will see a future fighter in any generation dominate and out wit their opponents more than George did his generation. George's fight style started the new revolution of MMA and how you can defeat Strikers or Wrestlers through sheer dedication to know your every weakness and use it against you in ways you CAN'T stop if you tried.

    Ultimately I believe it’s all the character traits, along with the career triumphs, trials and tribulations that culminated together into GSP’s God status in the world of UFC.
    Undoubtedly, the greatest stories in the history of our lives is when we chase our goals, only to get derailed off our unbeaten path by the unknown & unforeseen circumstances of life itself. It’s what we do afterwards, how we deal with feeling defeated and managing to overcome those new obstacles that create legacies.
    GPS is a realistically self aware man who never tried to end careers or ever needed a ref to pull him off of an opponent. He lost twice, and avenged those loses with the same amount of humility, class and respect shown to everyone else, no matter the outcome.
    GSP is the definition of a man’s man in my eyes. He is what every parent wishes to raise their children to be like, and displays himself as a role model to imitate as an adult.
    There are genuinely great people in the world of MMA. But the ones who’ve reached the highest levels of success in the sport can’t say their on GSP’s level.

    John Danaher is 100% correct, it comes down to the viewer and it shows the type of characters you accept as the GOAT. Those that brush off cheating as a way to gain victory, will most likely choose Jon Jones. Those that value a perfect record over quality opponents will probably accept Khabib as the goat. For me, it's simple, the quality of the opponents and not cheating your way in building your legacy are the utmost importance when comparing the three. GSP is the true GOAT.

      But Khabib's record is not perfect.... Half of his record are fake fights, opponents that only fought once in their "professional career" or had zero wins and three losses... How is that a perfect record...
      Even if you take all that away, he only had a small number of fights against real top 5 fighters. He should never be considered as the GOAT.

  • @Slade-2556
    @Slade-2556 Před 3 měsíci +3

    To be a goat is not to just be undefeated as even the best fighters in the world in each combat sport has loss like muhammad ali,mike tyson,sugar ray Robinson, and even floyd mayweather in his amateur career,rodtang,mighty mouse,gsp and etc they all lost but what seperates them from others is how they can dominate the competition after losing and in some cases completely dominate the fighters that they lost too. To be the greatest isn't to be perfect and have a perfect record to be the greatest is to dominate the competition no matter if you ever lost or not and be able to compete with the elite

    But I do have to say though that adding those punching sound effects and as often as they are, was kinda getting on my nerves.. like,.it kinda pissed me off jusy a little bit.. Loll..
    Idk if its supposed to be a joke, but i feel this.whole thing would just be overall so much better without having those soo often. They just don't add anything and they only annoy the veiwer i feel loke .
    But overall this was absolutely amazing!! I can tell that much effort was put into this.
