Georges St-Pierre explains his love for wrestling

Despite not having an illustrious NCAA Div I National wrestling background like other UFC fighters and legends like Brock Lesnar and Bo Nickal, Georges St-Pierre was regarded as an elite MMA wrestler throughout his career.

The UFC Hall of Famer recently tweeted a photo during a wrestling session and gave a history lesson of sorts for his followers. He mentioned that the sport has a long history dating back hundreds of years and noted that he still enjoys it, writing:

"Wrestling is probably the oldest sport in the world. Carvings and drawings estimated to be between 15,000 and 20,000 years old, found in caves in southern Europe, depict wrestlers in hold and leverage positions. I still enjoy doing it today."
