george st. pierre

George St. Pierre(GSP) born in Saint-Isidore, Quebec on May 19, 1981. He is presently the number one pound for pound mma fighter. He started off just taking kyokushin karate because kids at his school stole his money and clothes. Then he was able to defend himself and started taking mma classes.

George started training with some of the most known and skilled mma fighters. He trained with some of the best at Greg's Jackson's Submission Fighting in New Mexico. He had his debut at ufc 46 where he defeated Karo Parisyon. George defeated many fighters.

Finally after a while GSP gets his shot at the title at ufc 50 against Matt Hughes. He was defeated by the experienced fighter. Hughes put GSP in a arm bar which forced him to tap out.

George took that and started training harder than ever. When he faced off with the former champion BJ Penn in ufc 58 that made GSP the number one contender for the ufc welterweight title shot. Once again GSP faced off against Matt Hughes for the title shot in ufc 63 and won by decision. GSP was the new champion.

My conclusion on GSP is he is my hero. He trains to be the best which he is. George St. Pierre is my idol. He is one to never quit which means a lot and I look up to that. He inspires me to be the best and never quit. You've got to keep pushing it to the limit until you can't go any more.
