Georges St-Pierre had his perfect comeback story Saturday night. He recovered from ACL surgery and took 4 years away from the sport as well, only to return — and finish — the current champion in a higher weight class. It seemed unfathomable for many, but St-Pierre once again displayed why he is considered among the sport’s all-time greats.
He wasn’t able to speak to the media following his massive win over Michael Bisping, as he had to get stitches and be checked by doctors, but he did release a statement on social media.
“The atmosphere last night at MSG was unreal... Feeling great today,” GSP wrote. “Thanks everyone for making this the best night of my career!!!"
