Georges “Rush” St. Pierre (born May 19, 1981), often referred to as GSP , is a French-Canadian mixed martial arts fighter, and the current Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champion. He is known for his high level of cardiovascular conditioning, Karate-influenced striking style, ground & pound and takedown defense. He holds notable wins over Matt Hughes (twice), Josh Koscheck, B.J. Penn, Frank Trigg, Jason Miller, Matt Serra, Karo Parisyan and Sean Sherk. He is currently ranked by MMAWeekly, Nokaut, and Sherdog as the #1 welterweight fighter in the world
Early career
St. Pierre had dreamed of becoming a UFC champion since watching Royce Gracie fight in 1993 at UFC 1. St. Pierre had his first amateur bout when he was only 16 years old. He states, “When I won my first amateur (MMA) fight, I was 16 years old and I beat a guy that was 25. I was only a Kyokushin karate fighter and the guy I fought was a boxer. At the time my ground skills were very poor, I didn’t know nothing on the ground.” St. Pierre won his fight by knockout, going low with several leg kicks and then going high with a kick to the head.
St. Pierre’s pro debut was against Ivan Menjivar and ended in a first round TKO win. St. Pierre went on to win his next three fights before making his TKO debut against Pete Spratt at TKO 14 (November 29, 2003). St. Pierre defeated Spratt with a rear naked choke in the first round.
Joining the UFC
St. Pierre made his Octagon debut at UFC 46 where he defeated Karo Parisyan by decision. His next fight with the UFC was against Jay Hieron at UFC 48. St. Pierre defeated Hieron via TKO (strikes) in only 1:42.
Following his second straight win in the UFC, he faced Matt Hughes at UFC 50 for the welterweight title. Despite a competitive performance, St. Pierre tapped out to an armbar with only 1 second remaining in the first round.
Road to the title
After his loss to Hughes, St. Pierre rebounded with a win over Dave Strasser at TKO 19 with a first round kimura submission. He then returned to the UFC to face Jason “Mayhem” Miller at UFC 52, defeating Miller by unanimous decision.
With momentum behind him, St. Pierre was then matched up against top contender Frank Trigg at UFC 54. St. Pierre controlled the fight and eventually sunk in a rear naked choke with less than a minute remaining in the first round. He then faced future lightweight champion Sean Sherk at UFC 56. Midway through the second round St. Pierre became the second fighter to defeat Sherk, and the first to finish him.
At UFC 58, St. Pierre defeated former UFC welterweight champion B.J. Penn to become the number one contender for the UFC welterweight title. St. Pierre won the match by split decision and was set to rematch then-champion Matt Hughes on September 23, 2006 at UFC 63. However, St. Pierre was forced to withdraw from the match due to a groin injury, and was replaced by the man he defeated in March, B.J. Penn. The UFC had announced afterwards that St. Pierre would have the opportunity to fight for the title when his condition was fully healed.
[edit] The Ultimate Fighter
St. Pierre was seen as a trainer on The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback on Spike TV, which featured fighters who were previously seen in UFC events including Matt Serra, Shonie Carter, Pete Sell, Patrick Côté, and Travis Lutter. St. Pierre was seen vocally supporting fellow Canadian and training partner Patrick Côté during the season’s airing.
[edit] Winning the championship
At UFC 63, St. Pierre made an appearance to support fellow Canadian MMA fighter, David “The Crow” Loiseau. At that time he was seen pushing Loiseau to “fight his fight” against Mike Swick. At the same event, after Matt Hughes had defeated B.J. Penn, GSP stepped into the ring to hype up his upcoming title fight against Hughes, stating that he was glad that Hughes won his fight, but that he was “not impressed” by Hughes’ performance.
According to both commentator Joe Rogan and Hughes’ own autobiography, Hughes was unhappy with St. Pierre’s statement and that they “had words” off-camera shortly after, at which time St. Pierre apologized, saying he had misunderstood something Hughes had said on the microphone, and did not mean to offend him. St. Pierre challenged Matt Hughes again at UFC 65 for the UFC welterweight title. The fight was almost stopped near the end of the first round when St. Pierre sent Hughes to the mat with a superman punch and left hook, but Hughes managed to survive the first round. In the second round, St. Pierre won the fight via TKO (referee stoppage) after a left kick to Hughes’ head, followed by a barrage of unanswered punches and elbows.
On January 30, 2007, St. Pierre signed a six-fight deal with the UFC
