#2 Georges St-Pierre
The accolades ring unanimous praise for Georges St-Pierre, who is undoubtedly one of the greatest middleweights to have set foot inside the octagon. GSP is a premium blend of all the notable fighting disciplines which he effectively conjures into a single capsule. He’s a ferocious striker, which he has proved time and again.
Coached in disciplines like boxing and Muay Thai, GSP strikes well and GSP strikes hard! Even in his return fight against Michael Bisping, a visibly jacked St-Pierre didn’t let the “extra muscle” hold back the intensity or the ferocity of his attacks.

Striking aside, he is known for his powerful takedowns, which not even the best of fighters can withstand. A black-belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Georges St-Pierre is a master at submissions, something which has gone a long way in him being established as a well-rounded fighter.
His stellar 26-2 record in the oeuvre of mixed martial arts is a powerful indicator of how technically proficient he is inside the demonic structure made of steel. He holds the rare distinction of title reigns in two weight classes.
