In GSPs filmography there is a missing ref. to a documentary called 'The Striking Truth" 2010 he appears in with David Loiseau. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1630565/ Thank you for considering this edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neuroendosci1 ( talk • contribs) 23:00, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
The weight is 185 since his last fight was at 185 and he won the championship, 170 in the notes anyways so why revert it . It’s in the notes and the Sherdog source is there . Don’t see why would you feel the need to revert . It’s the same situation with Dan Henderson’s height . It’s better to have a note with all possible reliable sources and avoid an edit war— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiman122112 ( talk • contribs) 11:22, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Under "Return and Retirement", it states "White was critical of Woodley's performance in his last two fights and with Robert Whittaker". This is incorrect, not only was Dana White referring to Woodley's single fight with UFC fighter Damian Maia, Tyron Woodley has never even fought Robert Whittaker in the first place. This is even proven by looking at the linked source. Wyill ( talk) 04:04, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

under "training" or perhaps "early life" could include that "In the early 2000s he trained and competed in freestyle wrestling with the Montreal Wrestling Club. He competed at the 2002 and 2003 Concordia Invitational wrestling tournament as an 82 kg wrestler, placing second on both occasions."

I also came across a youtube video from what might be one of the Concordia tournaments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9WrbiZBsig . Perhaps could add that as an additional reference?

For the 2nd Matt Hughes fight the method is TKO (head kick and elbows) if you watch the fight 70.49.163.241 ( talk) 17:16, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello. I'm pinging Thebighomie123 here due to the statement of claiming GSP is the greatest MMA fighter ever versus saying he is one of the greatest instead. Most of the sources cited for that claim say he is "one of the greatest".
I believe we should say he is "one of the greatest" of all time versus claiming he is THE greatest of all time.
"Georges St-Pierre, one of the greatest and most popular MMA fighters of all time, is expected to announce his retirement on Thursday at a news conference in Montreal." ( Guardian)
"..."that makes St-Pierre the greatest mixed martial artist of all time." ( ESPN)
"...He’s one of the greatest of all-time, ‘put Canada on the MMA map’" ( BloodyElbow)
" is considered to be one of the greatest fighters in MMA history." ( TalkSport)
"...His GOAT status may not be unanimous, but it isn't exactly a hot take, either." ( BleachReport)
"...As Mike Armstrong explains, GSP goes out as one of the greatest fighters to ever enter the octagon." ( Global News)

I think we should add a new section to the GSP article, similar to the Khabib talking about fighting style. Thebighomie123 ( talk) 13:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
