At the risk of outing myself here, I am a new fan of the spot. My first proper fight, that I was hyped to watch was Izzy Vs Gastelum. Editing together vids for MMAOnPoint, you learn a lot very quickly about the history of the sport. I had heard of GSP before being a hardcore fan and now know tonnes about him and his career. But helping edit this piece was truly a breathe of fresh air and a solid reminder how great an athlete Georges' was. It is so easy to have recency bias and forget all the incredible achievements by fighters in the past. A truly honourable fighter and forever champion.
And you guys did a great job on it. Thank you.
Which spot was that now?
Welcome to the greatest sport ever created young man!
Oh man, I remember when I was you. It's such a blast dude. The MMA world is rich with amazing characters and stories. As a combat sports handicapper (been doing this for about 4 years now) some of my favorite plays are done on the contender series, where I get a chance to really learn about the fighter's past. I remember Raul Rosas Jr being one of the most fascinating in terms of how he had to lie about his age to compete against adults. Anyways, loved the editing work on this. You and the team make fascinating work and I hope we get more deep dives on fighters like this piece!
@@MMAOnPoint You know darn well which spot!
mighty mouse and gsp the picture of greatness to me. No ped accusations no funny business just consistency and greatness
Wut abt khabib too
@@Kawairze eh. I have my reasons.
@@Kawairze how many top 4 opponents has khabib fought against...
There were some accusations against gsp taking steroids. Also grease gate and some weird happened with the weigh in during Diaz fight.
No funny business? Guess you didn't see gsp vs penn
I've always seen him as the man who brought us out of cage fighting, and into MMA.
Inside and outside of the cage, he exemplified what it means to be a martial artist.
Is that MF'in Faith!?
That's a very nice succinct way to see him and his legacy. I agree with you.
I started watching MMA back when all these fights were happening. I was and still am a big GSP fan. The worst thing he's ever done was what, win a very close fight? 😆
🐐
wonderful comment. I agree with you
GOAT
GSP is a hero to me. Growing up in a small town in Ontario where fighting and wrestling was a big deal GSP was idolized. I miss watching his fights, watching greatness happen live is something I'll never forget.
4real man. Im from Toronto and have felt the same at times.
@@stephenstuckey I'm from Toronto too I met him downtown really nice guy shorter than I expected but I know he would whoop my ass LOL
@@markchapman2585 oh nice bro, that be sick to meet GSP. And i bet, lol...nicest dude in the world but will fuck u up if needed. Cheers🐸👊
Same here. I still hold hope for another fellow Canadian to reach for the heights that GSP climbed.
@@sallgoodman2323 Look Up Aaron Jeffery
GSP is the GOAT not only due to his skill & performance as a fighter, but because of everything about him
The skill, the intelligence, the discipline, the honesty, humility, graciousness, and generally how he conducted himself & the way he represented the sport. Just a phenomenal athlete and human being
Well said
GSP, MIGHTY MOUSE, KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV
the goats simply because they never had any sort of performance enhancers
JON JONES IS THE GREATEST FIGHTER THOUGH
Gsp didn't eye poke,nut shot,pop for steroids 4 times,didn't stretch his hands to his opponents eyes, didn't have a 12 inches reach advantage,didn't have 4+ inches height advantage,had only one close controversial decision against a juicehead who became champ after gsp retired,actually moved up instead of teasing it for 10+years and counting.
Not defending Jones but GSP did have greasegate
Physical advantage isn't bad that's dumb but the steroids yeah.
My GOAT. I absolutely will never stop SIMPING for GSP
Same. The Greatest!
same
It ain't simpin' if it's GSP.
He's the best ever. No peds, avenged his only losses, and went up a class(15lbs gap) to win the belt after 4 years off.... and is still in better shape than many current athletes. A true idol
The best summed up GSP comment
Exactly.
And he's dealt with possible career-ending injuries and health issues and persevered.
be honest, he had beat 1 of the weakest middleweight champ ever. If it were Yoel, or Whittaker , I don't think, GSP could be the champ.
@@kristofszekeres1375 Probably true. And I don't think Bisping was a bad fighter by any means. But he's a guy that will go 5 rounds, outwork and outpoint you. Yoel and Whittaker have explosive power, which is probably the thing GSP is most vulnerable to.
His game plan would probably have consisted of a lot of takedowns to wear those guys out. Risky given the punching power and general strength, but I think it would've been his best chance to win.
With that said, we can only judge the guy based on what he did, not what could have been. I think he's the GOAT. Won't be mad if someone puts him second behind Khabib, but I won't think they're right.
Arguably the GOAT, and brought the sport forward in so many ways, watching him is what got me into MMA
Not arguably.....
0:07 ...you can tell GSP really appreciated Khabib saying that. Legendary moment right there
GSP is just pure wholesomeness. He’s everything I want in an MMA fighter. He’s top tier, a phenomenal athlete, stays out of trouble, he’s a consummate sportsman, and the meanest thing I ever heard him say to an opponent was basically “son, I am disappoint.” He’s the Platonic ideal of a fighter.
Dear Lord, the best coverage of GSPs legacy by a distinct MMA channel. Well done guys, from one fact to the other, it was a monumental reminder of who Georges St-Pierre is for the sport and why he should always be remembered at times when it's hard to be an MMA fan these days... all hail THE RUSH!
How about the indistinct channels?
The greatest of all time. Never popped for PEDs, avenged his losses to the only men to beat him, and double champ. Absolute legend.
but he lost, khabib, jones havent
@@KG-ii2yx Khabib missed weight, Jones failed ped tests, and has a loss albeit a dq. It all depends on how you weigh those things. I take GSP, no controversy.
@@KG-ii2yx Khabib only fought at one weight class and never really challenged himself
@M he was not tested for most of his career. If you think he never did and PEDs you're kidding yourself. He's great, but taking size out of it..... Bones wrecks him. Anderson would have beat him senseless back then too. Solid 4. Mighty Mouse at 185 and 6' is the scariest thought ever.
@@shanedelgado666 never popped on a test. You can speculate all you want. If he was on them in that era, so was everyone else, balances out. GSP is the GOAT. Keep hating. I heard GSP drinks haters tears for breakfast.
i'd like to nominate this vid for all the awards. seriously, great job.
I love these deeper looks into the rise and history of fighters.
Gsp and Mighty Mouse. The 2 men who deserve to be called legends.
This was really well done. Not only does it tell you how good of a fighter GSP was but it shows the person he was as well. MMA wouldn't be where it is without him. To me he is the GOAT. No controversy, dominant champ and went up to become champ at middleweight. Of course there are guys like DJ that I think should get mentioned more and current fighters like Volk who still years to build his legacy. But you just don't get better than GSP. He was everything you would want in a fighter. Great athlete, hard worker, professional, well rounded and fight iq. And the way he carries himself is how I personally will remember him. The end of this video really summed it up. In a sport that has shady characters and things that go on in the behind the scenes GSP stands out as a humble man who had the most prestigious career in MMA and represented mixed martial arts better than anybody ever has.
100% GSP is the undisputed MMA GOAT
never thought we'd ever see an MMA Legends video again but this definitely welcome, GSP the goat
*So much strength and humility made him a true living legend ! Long and healthy life GSP. 👊👍🙏*
Damn you guys are on point with these legends videos I love them
Fantastic video. Love this series
Thanks, my dude! Much appreciated!
Wow amazing watch from start to end so well done and as a Canadian it’s amazing seeing our countries hero displayed this way
Quality content guys. You're knocking it out of the park with every production.
GSP is held in such high regard here in Canada. His initials are spoken with reverence, and older fans of his keep the legacy alive and well.
Fastest click in youtube history.
GSP - The GOAT!!! And the reason I started watching mma all those years ago! Proud he's Canadian.
*The greatest. So glad I saw him live in Madison Square Garden defeating Bisping.*
GEP was bullied, then one day he hit back. GSP was addicted ever since.
Don’t understand why Dana never appreciate him , yet slobs on Khabib.
JOHNNY HENDRICKS WAS JUICED TO THE GRILLS
Aweseome format. love it
One word to describe GSP is that he is the best role model a sport can ever zsk for, a truly dominant champ, never talks shit and never fails for steroids
For mr DJ and GSP are the greatest fighters of all time
This style of video is awesome and perfect for this channel
Awesome video - great content and reminder of GSP's legacy. Too soon we forget
No doping, no controversy, constantly getting better, avenged his losses, dominated other champions.
He is the GOAT
I love these long form docs
Good work
I remember getting into the UFC for the 1st time when Brock Lesnar was fighting Cain Velasquez for the HW strap. I remember watching that fight but the UFC kind of fell out of my view for a while afterward.
It wasn't until I saw UFC Unleashed a couple years where they showed GSP defending the belt against Condit. Seeing how thoroughly he dominated Condit and how he survived after Condit scored a hellacious headkick hooked me to GSP and the sport, for good this time. However, I saw that re-run fight when GSP vacated the belt after the Johny Hendricks fight so I never saw his WW reign live.
I desperately hoped that GSP would come back from retirement for another run. I saw fan-made documentaries on his career, how dedicated he was to his training, how he would dominate fighters in ways that the enemy and the fans wouldn't see coming, and discovered the coaches that were in his corner (Zahabi, Danaher).
Then, the announcement for UFC 217 came out and I was so excited to see him make a comeback. I even decided to make it the first UFC event I would go to LIVE in MSG and I made the flight there so I can express my support in the stands. Even though the trip to NYC was hell, ending the night by watching what I believed to be the best UFC card ever made it all worth it.
Not only was the card absolutely superb, but I also watched the main event with bated breath as GSP looked to be gassing and was bleeding heading into the 3rd. I was off my feet when GSP knocked Bisping down and choked him out to be a Two-Division Champion. GSP's performance inside and outside the Octagon cemented my love for the sport of MMA and I aspire to train as hard as he did.
He was an inspiration and he will always be my favorite fighter of all time!
These documentaries are fuckin awesome. Keep doing these, they are great.
Best content you guys have ever made. You guys are continually stepping your game up. I'm not a guy who usually ever comments on videos. I barely even press the like button. But I had to stop and acknowledge this effort put in here. Kudos to you guys.
Je viens du même petit village que George St-Pierre. Gsp est mon héros et ma donner beaucoup de maturité. Merci George pour l'inspiration que tu as transmis aux Québécois. Tu as montré aux monde que les québécois ont du coeur ☺️
Absolutely loving these videos. KEEP. IT. COMING!
This has been amazing to watch I can’t wait to see which fighter you guys do this on next. I hope it’s a series 🔥
GSP with the perpetual politeness and the Quebec accent is just too funny when he's "talking trash" lols
Beautiful essay, thank you for putting this together!
Outstanding doc! GSP is and will forever be on the Mount Rushmore of greatest UFC fighters. A complete class act and frikkin BEAST!
🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
The GOAT 🐐
No question needed
this was amazing
Amazing video. Please consider doing one for demetrius johnson.
Really love this new segment. Thank you and keep it up!
A legend video done right!
Beautiful video. Perfect pacing, commentating and editing. Well done.
What an amazing vid guys. Production value is crazy good
As an MMA fan I scrape the Internet for biographies and videos that can encapsulate the story of fighters. This was done very well. I’d say MMAONPOINT, MixedMollyWhoppery, and John Vincent are the top three channels that accomplish this.
What a fantastic episode. Looking forward to this new series.
My favourite Georges St. Pierre story was told by my cousin. He runs (ran?) seminars which led to a friendship with a fellow who's name escapes me but the guy fought GSP prior to GSP leaving for the UFC.
The retelling of his description of GSP is hilarious: "That guy was the strongest dude I've ever met. He grabbed my arm early in the fight and I immediately knew I was screwed. He had this evil little twinkle in his eye like he knew we weren't on the same level, like 'You ahrr gohing to fhly naow, little man" then he did whatever he wanted to me for the rest of the fight. On my record it says I fought Georges St. Pierre but in reality someone paid me a bunch of money to get my ass kicked by Georges St. Pierre."
Since I'm doing storytime and know almost nobody who's big into MMA I also worked with someone who fought Rory MacDonald in an amateur fight (confirmed on wikipedia). I asked if he knew Rory would be what he was and he said, "Well... Rory was the fight where I knew I wasn't going to make a career out of fighting. The guy's fundamentals were *so sound*. Like, he just NEVER made a mistake, EVER, and there wasn't anything I could do to push him into a compromising position. He beat the bricks offa me." lol
Excellent video. Looking forward to this series!
Pls do Sakuraba next
One of the greatest of all times. A very humble champion, didn't do much trash talking, a true role model. You are right, even though all of us would have loved to see him fight more, it is refreshing to see him ride out into the sunset on top instead of fighting till he is forced out.
Got into mma with Mcgregor, learned to find strength and balance in life with GSP.
Thanks Sensei George!
(Great video MMA on point!
Please do more of these legend analysis content!)
This channel is truly the greatest channel on the internet for MMA. You guys are so educated, and I'm glad GSP is getting the credit he deserves. Most ppl don't realize how great he was
Please do one for Mighty Mouse as well. Thank you for the good work :)
THIS is what I hoped for when I started subscribing when you guys posted your first video. Great narration, insight and most all; ORIGINAL CONTENT. Not that power of Goku shadowrealm-talking-over-other-peoples-content-shit. You guys are the golden standard. Also; this video, as well as everybody else's, fail to emphasize how good Hughes was at the time. He was the P4P greatest, the mighty mouse and the Khabib at the time. There is no question in my mind. GSP faced the best competition of his era and was, and still is, the greatest mma fighter of all time.
Just because this doesn't have a ton of views, please don't take that the wrong way. This is an amazing documentary
I love GSP cuz I think his loses show how he’s the greatest fighter in mma. He was able to learn from them and use those lessons in the future, also he was revolutionary with his training.
This was very well made. The audio in particular is great. I listened to it like a radio program or podcast. Props to the audio peeps!
It's gonna be a real cold day in hell the day GSP passes
The absolute GOAT
13:53 "bee jey penn"?? Love that they spelled the pronunciation of his name out. 😂
Georges St Pierre's return was the most amazing moment for me as a Canadian, as a fan of MMA and the pure competitive spirit. GSP is a legend. Thanks MMA on Point for this video. Much Love
One thing i dont see ppl mention more is the fact that ppl are still holding out for a GSP return. The man is “old” (41) and last fought like 6 years ago, yet ppl are still holding out for a return. That, combined with GSP’s athleticism says alot about how highly hes regarded.
He's still in great shape, has the IQ to come back and compete but he's definitely earned the right to stay retired
The monumental Mixed martial artist. Moved up from welterweight to middleweight to capture the title after a 4 year lay off, no need to trash talk to hype a fight, avenged all of his losses (last I checked his win over Hendricks wasn't overturned), 12 title defenses, never failed a drug test. GOAT
I am not the one who comments on youtube videos that I watch but this one is an exception. Great tribute to GSP's MMA career and this is not because of the fact that GSP is my favorite of all other fighters. Kudos to MMA on Point for this. Please continue creating fantastic content like this.
I had the pleasure of running into him at a BBQ joint in Austin, TX. He was was very generous and agreed to take a picture with me even though he was going there to eat.
Incredible video my friend. Top notch.
Hey guys great documentary overall, there is just one thing I would like to point out for those who maybe didn't watch much of our great promotion UCC/TKO. GSP did not actually win the UCC/TKO Welterweight World Championship, that is a common misconception. In the early days of UCC, due to the promotions popularity on the international stage a dual championship system was created with "World" and "Canadian" champions, both were black leather at first, but this was later changed to differentiate between the two. This at a certain point where we can visually see it by the color of leather used to make the belt. George St-Pierre actually won the Canadian UCC/TKO Welterweight championship, the difference can the difference during this video, with the red leather belt being presented to him at 13:04 , whereas the world championship stayed black leather.
GSP is without a doubt the greatest fighter the ufc has ever seen. As a fellow Canadian I am so proud he represented us. The GOAT.
Fantastic video
No matter win or lose after the Hendrix fight, even with a battered face he came in a suit and apologised for coming late. Top class gentleman
Excellent peace! Hope to see more like it
The GOAT, shoutout to him to winning a title with ulcerative colitis. Gives me hope and inspires me to fight the disease
Legendary series. Keep up
Keep on making these MMA Legends series yes
Once again, you guys did an amazing job. You should be the top MMA channel on any platform. Thank you for the effort you put in to your videos. For all others attempting to build channels, MMM On Point is the ruler to which you should measure.
thank you for this
Dude really was a style bender
Amazing video. Easily a top 3 GOAT and fights for the top of my list.
I know the views aren’t on par with other videos, but please keep doing these videos
Thank you for a well made video in honor of GSP.
Awesome video man ! Thank you
VERY well done gents. Beautiful
Cool to see these more long form videos from you guys! I’ve been a fan from the beginning.
Yes , before watching. Keep up the great work MMA on Point💪
Great segment.
Yet another excellent video these longer form deep dives are brilliant can't wait for what you guys do next
GSP is my fav fighter. Even when I was boxing I loved watching GSP fights. So good.
Great stuff lads
Great video, I hope there’s more like this 👍🏻
Dude out did everyone at their own game. Plus was a consummate PRO.
Loved this video format. Love GSP too. Not only was he dominant in the cage, he was a class act outside of it, and stilll is to this day.
Definitely GOAT as far as I'm concerned.
GSP is the only fighter to beat a reigning champion in 3 weight class (155, 170, 185). and he beat 9 champion in major promotion (ufc, wec, strikeforce)
GSP was definitely the hero the MMA world deserved and a great ambassador for martial arts hands down.
That guy that Christof koed looked like he was talking on a phone
