6 Greatest UFC Champions

#4 Georges St. Pierre

St-Pierre after capturing the middleweight title.

Georges St. Pierre was the undisputed king of the UFC's welterweight division for six long years and is an absolute shoo-in for the Hall of Fame when the French-Canadian officially calls time on his illustrious career.

If he hadn’t lost the belt to Matt Serra in one of MMA’s biggest ever upsets in 2007, GSP would've ruled the 170lbs ranks for an incredible 11 years, and he’d probably still hold the record for the most title defences in UFC history.

After regaining his strap from Serra in 2006, St. Pierre only relinquished it when he decided to take a sabbatical in 2013 following his split-decision win over Johnny Hendricks.

Then, after a four-year break way from the sport, in 2017 GSP did the remarkable, returning to the sport to defeat Michael Bisping for the middleweight title, before handing that one back, as well.

His next move is still undecided but, regardless of whether he fights again or not, his heyday heroics in the welterweight division mean that ‘Rush’ will forever be known as one of the sport’s best fighters and one of the UFC’s greatest ever champions.
