Georges St-Pierre has had a near-perfect MMA career, most of which he spent fighting in the UFC. He debuted at UFC 46 in 2004 and experienced the first loss of his career against his idol, Matt Hughes, at UFC 50. GSP is widely considered the MMA G.O.A.T. [Greatest of all Time] and the best welterweight fighter in history.

He is a former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion and is one of the few MMA fighters to feature alongside some of the biggest actors in Hollywood.

Georges St-Pierre has featured in movies like Never Surrender, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Kickboxer: Vengeance, and Cartels. He also landed the role of Georges Batroc in the recently released Marvel TV show, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

GSP fought his childhood hero Jean-Claud Van Damme in the movie, Kickboxer: Vengeance. He described the event and said:

"Jean-Claude Van Damme for me, growing up in a French environment in Quebec, he was the biggest star, so fighting him for me was like fighting the hero of my day. It was a dream come true. It was like fighting my mentor, so to speak. This was the guy who inspired me to be in the UFC and all of these things, so I was very nervous, but I knew Jean-Claude from before, so I wanted to do well. I wanted the fight to be memorable."
