Watch: Georges St-Pierre comes out of retirement to choke out a T-Rex

mmaweekly |  

Georges St-Pierre is just as good in the simulated world as he is in real life.

‘GSP’ earned his way to the top through blood, sweat, and tears throughout a grueling 15-year career in the cage. But time flies, and while he’s many people’s favorite fighter, it’s been almost a decade since he retired from MMA. In his final outing, a win over Michael Bisping saw him capture the UFC middleweight title and become one of the very few two-division world champions in the sport. A commanding presence in the sport, St-Pierre avenged both of his losses and hung up the gloves during a 13-fight win streak; he has done it all. With nothing left to prove, ‘Rush’ has been having fun away from competing; maybe a little too much fun.

In a social media post, Georges St-Pierre shared an amusing video of himself coming out of retirement. The clip bizarrely shows him entering the octagon with Brock Lesnar in his corner before his opponent enters. His opponent? A T-Rex.

Made with AI, St-Pierre faces off with the dinosaur and is immediately forced on the back foot. The menacing T-Rex pressures the former two-weight world champion toward the cage and barely misses with a series of chomps. But as he did countless times in his real-life career, the Canadian found a way to win. The simulation shows several finishes. In one simulation, St-Pierre won by knockout after catching the Tyrannosaurus Rex with a modified Superman punch. Another enactment sees the Hall of Famer lock in a rear naked choke and put his opponent to sleep.

Rumors of his return from retirement have surfaced over the years of his inactivity, but nothing has materialized. Despite being away from competition since 2017, Georges St-Pierre is still called out by active fighters. A comeback looks unlikely, so for now we have to enjoy him fighting prehistoric creatures in AI simulation videos.

Watch the wonderfully strange video below.
