While the United States and Brazil have dominated most divisions throughout MMA‘s short history, Georges St-Pierre has carried the torch for Canadian fighters by reigning over the welterweight class for most of the past five years.
At UFC 154, St-Pierre will attempt to reclaim his position as undisputed champion in a bout against interim titleholder Carlos Condit. Condit earned his belt with a win over Nick Diaz during St-Pierre’s 18-month absence due to a knee injury.
The face of Canadian MMA will be making his highly anticipated comeback in his home country. As a tribute to the hosting nation’s wealth of MMA talent, let’s take a look at the greatest Canadian fighters to ever step into the cage.
