5 most memorable moments from UFC 217

#1 Georges St-Pierre makes successful return; becomes fourth two-division champion in UFC history

GSP joins the short list of champions to hold titles in two different weight classes

He's back. Boy oh boy is he back.

If you needed any more evidence that Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter of all time then look no further than the UFC 217 main event. Just sensational. He kept saying he was better than he was before and I guess we should have believed him because he looked like the GSP of old and then some.

Having no trouble scoring his takedowns when he went for them, GSP also controlled most of the striking exchanges with Michael Bisping. Ironically enough, Bisping did most of his damage on the ground from underneath GSP, landing tight, sharp elbows in the guard.

As the fellow great, Dominick Cruz famously said about the myth of ring rust, "it's nothing more than mental weakness". GSP continued to prove these words true as someone who is always in shape and already has that championship mentality, he came back looking like he never left.

A competitive fight none the less, what an amazing return for the former Welterweight champion of the world. Coming back after four years of not fighting then going up in weight, taking on the champion and choking him to sleep in the third round... it doesn't get much more career-defining than that.

Georges St-Pierre is a legend, an icon and many other things that describe greatness. This was one of the best moments in MMA's history without a doubt.
