Georges Saint-Pierre (born May 19, 1981), often referred to as GSP[1] , is a Canadian mixed martial arts fighter and the former UFC Welterweight champion. He holds wins over Matt Hughes, B.J. Penn, Frank Trigg, Karo Parisyan and UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk.

St. Pierre made his octagon debut at UFC 46 where he defeated Karo Parisyan by decision. After winning against Jay Hieron at UFC 48, he faced Matt Hughes at UFC 50 for the Welterweight title, but was defeated by armbar submission in the first round. After his loss to Matt Hughes, GSP rebounded with a win over Jason Miller at UFC 52 and then fought such notables as Frank Trigg at UFC 54 and Lightweight champion Sean Sherk at UFC 56. At UFC 58, St. Pierre defeated former UFC welterweight champion B.J. Penn to become the #1 contender for the UFC Welterweight title. St. Pierre won the match by a split decision and was set to face then champion Matt Hughes on September 23 at UFC 63.[9] However, St. Pierre was forced to withdraw from the match due to a groin injury, and was replaced by the man he defeated in March, B.J. Penn. The UFC had announced afterwards that St. Pierre would have the opportunity to fight for the title when his condition had fully healed.

St. Pierre challenged Matt Hughes again at UFC 65 for the UFC Welterweight title. The fight lasted two rounds with St. Pierre winning the fight via TKO (referee stoppage) after a left kick to Hughes' head, followed by a barrage of unanswered punches and elbows.

At UFC 69 Georges St. Pierre lost the Welterweight title to Matt Serra via TKO (strikes) at 3:25 of round one. Matt Serra was an 8-1 underdog going in to the bout.

On January 30 2007, St. Pierre signed a six-fight deal with the UFC.
