Igår gick MMA-legendaren och av många ansedd den bästa genom alla tider, Georges St-Pierre, i pension. Han hade en väldigt lång och spektakulär karriär och ett MMA-facit på 26–2. Hans två försluter rätta han till genom att besegra de två männen i returmatcher. Matt Serra besegrade han genom teknisk knockout i rond två under UFC 83. Matt Hughes besegrade han genom teknisk knockout i rond två under UFC 65.
Nu reagerar MMA-världen på GSPs beslut att lägga handskarna på hyllan.

All the best in your endeavors Georges. @georgesstpierre
I’m sure I’m not the only one Georges has made his impact but also a whole country and an entire sport worldwide. Amazing to witness an individual grow to such heights and setting the bar for everyone. #andstill #goat pic.twitter.com/xpYmxQUoDa— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) February 21, 2019

I was lucky enough to officiate 7 of @GeorgesStPierre fights in the Octagon including his first championship fight and his last. GSP it was always an honor to work your fights & I hope you dominate retirement just like you dominated the @ufc cage!! Thank you for being a class act

This fascinates me. Fight day was just about the only thing I DID like about being in MMA. Probably why he is one of the best ever, truly loving the grind is a strange and remarkable thing. https://t.co/30xvaxZmXY
