“My favorite fight is my first performance in Montreal. I went into the octagon in front of my family and friends. This was my second fight against Matt Serra. I have never heard a louder crowd. I didn't even hear Bruce Buffer, the stands were so loud.
Journalists in Canada did not particularly favor me then, but after that fight everything changed. I began to be respected as a real demand changer. Before this house, it was difficult. I think it helped a lot that the UFC is still in Montreal, ”MMA News quotes Saint-Pierre.
St-Pierre defeated Serra via TKO to regain the welterweight title in April 2008 at UFC 83.
