DAMN! They Were Good | Remembering Georges St-Pierre, The Greatest Fighter Of All-Time

from MMA Fighting · host MMA Fighting

DAMN! They Were Good celebrates the careers of our favorite fighters in MMA history. On the 15th anniversary of his epic clash with B.J. Penn (and the 20th anniversary of his UFC debut), Jed Meshew is joined by Alexander K. Lee and Nick Baldwin to take a deep dive into Georges St-Pierre, the owner of the greatest single career in MMA history. The Prince That Was Promised from almost the moment he stepped into the octagon for the first time, St-Pierre's early career was more difficult that many remember, failing in his first attempt at claiming the welterweight title and then, once he finally broke through and beat Matt Hughes, losing the belt in his first title defense to Matt Serra, in what remains the biggest upset in MMA history. Setbacks like that could have broken a lesser fighter but instead they spurred St-Pierre on to even greater heights as he would reclaim the title and then put together one of the most dominant runs in the history of MMA, rewriting the record books and redefining what it means to be a professional cage fighter. What were our favorite moments, where did St-Pierre fall short and who exactly is Roberta Bondar? Listen in as we remember the spectacular career of one of MMA's all time greats.

Viaplay Fighting Pod Viaplay Christian Ramberg, Kenneth Bergh og Thomas Hansvoll gir deg de ferskeste nyhetene fra internasjonal fighting og kommende kamper i denne fighting-podcasten. The Trials Of Women 10X Pod Group The trials of women throughout history have been marked by enduring challenges related to gender inequality, societal expectations, and limited opportunities. Women have often had to navigate systems of oppression, from fighting for basic rights such as the ability to vote and receive education to battling against cultural norms that confine them to traditional roles. Despite making significant strides toward equality, many women still face issues like discrimination in the workplace, gender-based violence, and unequal access to healthcare. These struggles are compounded by the weight of balancing professional aspirations with family responsibilities, as well as the continuous pressure to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and behavior. Nonetheless, women continue to demonstrate resilience, courage, and leadership in overcoming these adversities and advocating for a more just and equal society.
