Betekenis

Georges St-Pierre's performance against BJ Penn at UFC 94 is widely considered one of the most complete and dominant title defences in UFC history. Penn — a former lightweight champion moving up in weight — was considered a genuine threat, but GSP controlled every aspect of the fight with his wrestling, ground-and-pound and conditioning. Penn's corner stopped the contest after the fourth round. The performance cemented GSP as the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world and one of the greatest welterweights of all time.
