Georges St-Pierre is arguably one of the greatest MMA fighters in history. GSP was a dominant force in two divisions and retired as the Middleweight Champion. Even after his retirement from the UFC, the Hall of Famer still has a remarkable fan base. Moreover, the former UFC middleweight and welterweight Champion doesn’t easily shy away from speaking his mind.

In a recent interview, GSP narrated his bizarre fan experiences. ‘Rush’ who hails from Quebec, Canada, said that people pursued to visit him from many places. St-Pierre also revealed that fans also visited his family on the lookout to meet him. One such bizarre incident was when a young woman told GSP’s parents that she wants to go out with him.

In the interview, GSP requested people should quit trying to visit his parents. “I told them [Parents]… you should not open the door to these people sometimes… you don’t know who’s coming. You know what I mean, it’s dangerous. Some people, sometimes they have a mental illness problem, you know what I mean, so I do this to try to protect my family,” said ‘Rush’.

Furthermore, GSP said that people would access his parent’s address from the phonebook and then visit them. He calls his family naïve because they are from the countryside. “They don’t know sometimes how bad people can be, you know, like stalkers… some people are kind of obsessed… Even at point, there was a girl that came from very far. She wants to go out with me you know… at my parents’ house. She says where’s George? You know, I think we’re made for one another and stuff. I was like oh my god, it’s insane!” said St-Pierre.
