Nobody knew what to expect heading into Saturday night's main event at UFC 217.  

Georges St-Pierre had been out of the fight game for four years and he was moving up a weight class to face one of the best fighters on the planet, Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping.

St-Pierre said he felt the best he ever had in his career, but there was only one way to find out, and the Canadian legend showed the world why he's one of the greatest fighters of all-time after choking out Bisping to become the champ.

 

St-Pierre took Bisping down multiple times and ended the fight in the third round after almost knocking Bisping out.

Nobody knows what the future holds for the champ, but the internet couldn't have been more excited to see him back in the octagon and with a belt around his waste.
