There’s no doubt that the UFC has seen countless warriors, each with their own unique legacy. Some are feared for their power, others respected for their skill. But every now and then, a fighter comes along who transcends the sport, not just through victories, but through how they carry themselves beyond the cage. Georges St-Pierre is one of those rare types, at least for Joe Rogan.

In his recent JRE episode, Rogan expresses his admiration for Georges St-Pierre, not just for his achievements in MMA but for how he lives his life after retirement. He highlights GSP as a great example of someone who walked away from the sport with financial success and continues to grow as a person.

Subsequently, Rogan even points out that GSP still trains, stays curious, and even came to him to learn techniques like the turning sidekick, showing that he remains a true martial artist, always eager to learn.

In his words, “He’s the best example of a guy who retired with millions in the bank and living his best life. He’s a real martial artist. He came down to learning turning sidekick from me. He wants to learn from everybody and everything.”

UFC Commentator goes on to explain that what truly sets GSP apart is his mindset. Even though he’s been retired for years, he still seeks out challenges and wants to train with top-level athletes like Gordon Ryan. That drive to keep learning and evolving, even when there’s nothing left to prove, is what makes him a true martial artist in his eyes.
