#3 Georges St. Pierre
Georges St. Pierre had two reigns as the UFC Welterweight champion. His first run as the champion was something forgettable as he lost the title in his first defence itself.
His second run, on the other hand, was a historic one. He won the title by defeating Matt Serra at UFC 83 and then went on to have nine successful title defences over five years. GSP got the better of names like BJ Penn, Jake Shields, Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit and Thiago Alves among others during this run.

His last title defence of this run came against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. It was also one of the closest fights during GSP’s run as Welterweight champion as he needed a split decision to get the win.
After this fight, GSP decided to take a break from the sport and vacated the title.
