Thompson names greatest welterweight of all time

Dmitriy Kel Dec. 7, 2021, 4 a.m.

Former UFC Welterweight Title Challenger Stephen Thompson told who he considers the greatest fighter in his weight category.

“In my opinion, the greatest fighter of all time is George St. Pierre. This guy has done a lot of title defenses, it's incredible.

"I can’t say that Usman will not achieve this, since he is defeating all opponents. In a few years, he can achieve this status. Saint Pierre is my motivator and friend, he also came to this sport from karate. Now I find it difficult to choose someone other than him," said Thompson.
