There is perhaps no higher gold standard for a UFC champion than Georges St-Pierre. He ushered the world into the modern era of the UFC, took on every challenger, and despite consistently being pushed to his limits (especially later in his career), he defeated them all with his complete fight game. Many may remember GSP for his dominant wrestling, but when you look back at the film – there’s arguably no better jab in MMA history.

We look back on GSP’s perfect career with Topps cards from the newly-released 2024 Topps Midnight UFC, 2024 Topps UFC Chrome®, 2024 Topps Knockout UFC, as well as some vintage sets that will surely bring back memories of his excellent performances inside the Octagon.
