Georges St-Pierre has aged like a fine wine. Thus, he shared a secret to his phenomenal physique in his 40s. However, his followers noticed something the UFC Hall of Famer wouldn’t have expected.
Fight fans vastly consider the Canadian fighter as the MMA G.O.A.T. Even after not competing in the welterweight division for around a decade, fans still believe he can hang in with the best fighters of this era in the UFC. ‘Rush‘, though, has no interest in active competition.

However, he still works out and stays in better shape than most fighters, not in training camps. The retired fighter even posts some of his training videos on his social media handles.
One of which has caught his followers’ attention, which includes the Spotify podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ guest Valentine Thomas, who is a trained lawyer turned 170ft free diver, spear fisherwoman, sustainable seafood expert, author, and has many other traits per her Instagram handle.

The Canadian, though, is a very smart fighter and only returned for one fight against Michael Bisping, who at the time was middleweight champion.
After health issues, GSP retired from the sport and never returned, even after talks of a contest against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
