GSP: Royce Gracie is the G.O.A.T.
Georges St-Pierre: “What he did for this sport would never be done ever again he’s the greatest of all time, and everybody should respect that.”
Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is on the short list of Greatest of All Time. But in a recent interview, he discussed how the example of Royce Gracie inspired him to stand up to bullying, and is the one, true G.O.A.T.
“Growing up at school, I got bullied a lot,” began GSP, as transcribed by BJJEE. “I was always a smaller and younger than the other guys that used to pick on me, and seeing a guy like Royce who weighed 170 pounds, take on the giants, and very intimidating people, because they back in the day, they didn’t have any weight class, it made me feel like it was me fighting the bullies at school.
“I see Royce as an inspiration to me, and that’s why I like Royce so much.
“What he did for this sport would never be done ever again he’s the greatest of all time, and everybody should respect that.”
