Georges St-pierre

Canadian MMA star Georges Saint-Pierre is called a legendary fighter for a reason. Since 2006, he has repeatedly won and defended the UFC welterweight title, having only 2 defeats in his entire professional career.

Journalists even called Saint-Pierre "king of welterweight" before he left the ring in 2013. Then the Canadian left the Octagon for 4 years due to health problems. Returning in 2017, he made his middleweight debut and immediately became the champion. Saint-Pierre is one of the few fighters to combine sports with filming.

Georges Saint-Pierre was born on May 19, 1981 in Saint Isidore, Quebec, Canada. Roland Saint-Pierre's father worked as a floor and carpet installer. Pauline Saint-Pierre's mother served in a nursing home.

Son Georges became the firstborn of a married couple, followed by 2 more young daughters. At the age of 7, the boy went to school and immediately faced aggression from a group of high school students. Hooligans took pocket money and valuables from him, frightening him with physical violence if he told an adult.

The frightened Georges was silent, but he figured out how to find a way out of the hated situation - he went to take Kyokushin karate lessons in order to repulse the villains in the near future. Until the age of 12, the teenager was engaged in karate and ice hockey, falling in love with both sports with all his heart. However, his parents asked him to make a choice, since they could not pay for 2 sections.

The boy chose to fight, following one argument - here it was possible to fight alone, and not depend on other players. This principle, to some extent, became the fighter's credo.

The boy was almost 16 years old when his Kyokushin karate coach died. After that, Georges also studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, took up boxing and wrestling, began to study kinesiology - the science of the mechanics of human movements. To pay for all this, the guy worked several jobs.

At the age of 21, Georges received a black belt in Kyokushin karate and immediately made his MMA debut as a professional, taking part in the UCC league. The Canadian won that fight against the Salvadoran fighter Ivan Menhivar by technical knockout in the first round. In the same year, Saint-Pierre won the UCC welterweight title (a fighter weighs 78 kg with a height of 177 cm) and defended his honorary title.

The debut of Saint-Pierre under the auspices of the UFC took place in Las Vegas on January 31, 2004 against the American Karo Parisian. The victory was awarded to the Canadian by unanimous decision. In the same year, Georges spent 2 more fights. The first against Jay Chiron he wins in the second minute by TKO. But in the second fight, luck turned away from Saint-Pierre. The fight against Matt Hughes for the welterweight title ended in victory for the American.

In 2005, Georges participated in 4 UFC fights, brilliantly completing each of them. The defeated rivals of the fighter were such athletes as Sean Sherk, Jason Miller, Dave Strasser, Frank Trigg.

The fight, which took place on November 18, 2006, became exciting and responsible for the Canadian at the same time. In the ring, he was again awaited by the titled fighter Matt Hughes, who inflicted the first offensive defeat. This time, the American was able to withstand the Canadian for only 2 rounds, after which he was sent to a TKO. And Saint-Pierre won the UFC welterweight title.

However, the champion's belt does not remain with Georges for long. Six months later, in April 2007, the Canadian lost the championship title to Matt Serra, having received the second defeat in his career. Swearing to himself to regain the title by all means, Saint-Pierre rushed into another battle.

The next fight with Josh Koschek turned out to be difficult. The opponent survived all 5 rounds, and the victory was awarded to the Canadian by the referee by unanimous decision. Towards the end of 2007, another fight took place with Matt Hughes, whom Georges knocked out with a painful hold, winning the title of interim UFC champion.

Soon Saint-Pierre regained the championship title, as promised. In April 2008, having entered the octagon against Serra, he left the opponent no chance - a hail of knee blows simply knocked the exhausted American to the floor at the end of the second round. It is symbolic that the victory went to the fighter at home, in Montreal.

This spectacular fight marked the beginning of the Canadian's memorable streak, which included 9 consecutive title defenses (from 2008 to 2013) against fighters such as John Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves (Brazil), Dan Hardy (Great Britain), Josh Koschek, Jay Shields, Carlos Condit, Nick Diaz, Johnny Hendrix.

9 brilliant victories in 5 years made Georges Saint-Pierre a living legend and king of the ring among welterweights. However, such fame came dearly to the Canadian fighter. Having received a fair amount of physical and psychological overwork, he decides to suspend his career in 2013.

The triumphant comeback took place in 2017 in New York, when Saint-Pierre entered the ring after a 4-year hiatus against Briton Michael Bisping and overpowered him with a choke in the 5th minute. That win bestowed the 36-year-old with the UFC middleweight title.

In the biography of a fighter, there is a place for creativity. So, back in 2009, he made his big screen debut in the films "Deadly Warrior" and "Never Give Up". In the last tape, which tells about the life of MMA fighters, Georges plays one of the fighters.

The first success in the cinema is his appearance in the superhero action movie "The First Avenger: The Other War" (2014) about the adventures of Captain America. The fighter plays Georges Batroc, who fights on the side of Evil.

In 2016, the film "Kickboxer" is released on the big screens, in which Saint-Pierre will star with the idol of his childhood - Jean-Claude Van Damme. The picture was the restart of the 1989 tape of the same name.

In 2017, the fighter played in the crime thriller Murder of Salazar about the adventures of the American mafia. Famous actors Steven Seagal and Luc Goss became partners on the set of Georges.

The personal life of a fighter is an area that he practically did not pay attention to.

At various times, there were rumors about his connection with a personal manager, who allegedly gave birth to a child from an athlete, but all the conversations remained unconfirmed.

In his interviews, Georges says that he is not an ascetic; on his Instagram there are many joint photos with beautiful girls. However, he is silent about plans to acquire a wife and children.

Not so long ago it became known that the athlete suffers from a mental disorder - obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Back in 2018, rumors circulated among MMA fans that the Canadian fighter wanted to meet the winner of the Conor McGregor - Khabib Nurmagomedov fight.

However, Saint-Pierre dispelled speculation, although he noted that the fight with Khabib would be preferable for him in terms of the significance of the legacy he wants to leave after his career. The Russian fighter has also expressed interest in fighting a living MMA legend.

In February 2019, Saint-Pierre officially announced that his managers were trying to negotiate with the UFC to organize a fight with Nurmagomedov. The fight is currently under development.
