I recently had the opportunity to photograph the consensus greatest mixed-martial artist artist of all time, Georges St-Pierre. Training out of the Tristar Gym in Montreal under the tutelage of Firas Zahabi, Georges ruled the Welterweight division of the UFC, defending the title 9 times before retiring as champion.
After four years of retirement, Georges St-Pierre would decide to come back to face what would be the greatest challenge of his career - a fight for the Middleweight title against the reigning champ, Michael Bisping.
In 2017 when GSP vs Bisping took place, only three fighters in the history of the UFC had won the title in two weight classes: Randy Couture, BJ Penn, and Conor McGregor.
GSP would become the fourth after submitting Bisping in the third round, becoming the middleweight champion of the world. He would relinquish the title soon afterwards, leaving the game on top and healthy.
In his interviews with the media about a possible fight with the reigning lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, he insists that he intends to stay retired, but if the UFC wants him back, they have his number.
