Georges St. Pierre is my HERO!

I'm a HUGE GSP fan and I am just ecstatic over his win against Matt Hughes at UFC 79:Nemesis. I'm not just a fan of his fighting style or his technique, which are all world-class. What constantly impresses me about him is his attitude and class inside and outside of the octagon! Especially last night, after his win, he immediately invited his mother into the ring to join in his celebration! I've seen a lot of fights and I've *never* seen anyone try and share his success so much as he did. In fact, after his first win against Matt Hughes, when he first gained the welterweight belt, he did the same thing: he brought his mother in and gave his championship belt to her!

Also, when asked about how he feels about this rubber-match win against his childhood idol, he thanks the UFC for the belt and goes on to say that "it’s a good honor, but Matt Serra is the target. Until I get my belt back, I’m not gonna consider myself a real champion", giving credit where credit was due. What a class-act.

GSP is only 26 and he has a *huge* future ahead of him. With his work-ethic and humble disposition, he's a true role-model and a great ambassador for the sport. I can't wait to see him in the Octagon again :D
