Rory MacDonald with the top-ranked Canadian Georges St-Pierre

No list of top Canadian fighters is complete without mentioning Georges St-Pierre. In fact, you might as well dismiss any such list that doesn’t feature GSP at the top. He has a professional record of 20-2 with 15 of those wins coming in the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), which is recognized as the predominant mma organization in the world. He has won 30 consecutive rounds – a UFC record – and outstruck his opponents 1067 to 367 (an almost 3 to 1 ratio). He’s sitting on an eight-fight win streak (the second longest in UFC history) with five successful defenses of his welterweight title, tying the UFC record set by Matt Hughes. There is currently no viable contender for the welterweight belt. That, in itself, is an indication of how dominant he is.

So much has been written about Georges St-Pierre, it seems to be a disservice to the other promising and talented Canadian fighters who rarely get any attention. So here we are with a list of top Canadian fighters other than Georges St-Pierre.

    I dont know what it is about this blog that turns me off so much, but you just dont seem to get me excited. I dont know if its the lack of content or just the way you wrote it. But you really dont appear to realize that your readers may not agree with you. Youre really just too available for me.
