Georges St-Pierre is set to make his mighty octagon return after nearly four years away from the sport of mixed martial arts. For his big return, the fighter will be moving up in weigh to challenge UFC middleweight champion Michael “The Count” Bisping for his title. The two MMA warriors will throw down in Saturday night’s main event at UFC 217.
Of course, “Rush” put on a dominant performance back in the UFC welterweight division prior to his retirement. The fighter retired as the champion on a stunning 12 fight winning streak, with a close decision victory over Johny Hendricks in 2013 making for his final performance. St-Pierre managed to culminate an staggering professional record of 25-2 during his career. Only two fighters have ever gone on to defeat the former welterweight champion.
Back at UFC 69, Matt Serra earned a stunning first round knockout finish over Georges St-Pierre for the welterweight title. However, GSP would go on to avenge his tough loss at UFC 83 with a second round TKO finish. Check out their epic rematch in the video below:
