The UFC legend, Georges St-Pierre, revealed his list of the top five fighters of all time. Albeit, he didn’t mention two lightweight stars who changed the face of the sport in recent times.

It goes without saying that the Canadian MMA fighter is one of the greatest fighters of all time in the sport. During his time in one of the biggest MMA promotions in the world, GSP held time in two divisions- 170 lbs and 185 lbs. Apart from that, he has defeated some notable names in the sport and still holds several amazing records under his belt.

Hence, GSP is the person with the utmost knowledge of the sport. That said, with this knowledge, the Canadian MMA star can name the best fighters in the sport. However, his list might upset a few Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov fans.

In a recent episode of the Patrick Bet-David Podcast, while naming his top five GSP said, “I think the number one for me is Royce Gracie… for his time. I think for me he was the greatest of all time. Things that he has done will never be done again.”

“Maybe not of my living. I think you can put Demetrious Johnson. You can put Mark Coleman, probably. Can put Jon Jones, of course. Anderson Silva these guys,” GSP added. 

Georges St-Pierre believes the greatest of all time hasn’t been born yet

Many will surely include one name, that is Georges St-Pierre, in their list of the greatest MMA fighters. However, GSP himself doesn’t agree with that. Because he believes the greatest hasn’t been born yet.

In the same podcast, GSP said, “I believe the fighters of today are better than the ones of yesterday. But the fighters of tomorrow of the future will be even better, so the real GOAT is not even born yet.”
