With the fall from grace of both Jon Jones (cocaine, hit and run) and Anderson Silva (multiple banned substances and performance enhancing drugs found in a failed drug test), Georges St. Pierre remains, perhaps, the last UFC GOAT (Greatest of All Time) to have not come to some sort of disgrace (Fedor Emelianenko, the Pride legend, is also in the running for all-time great, but never fought in the UFC). GSP, who is currently semi-retired, finished his career as a spokeperson against performance enhancing drugs, avenged the only two losses on his record, and walked away from the UFC as champ - absolutely unheard of in the sport. So a look behind the scenes at "Rush" is a must watch for any MMA fan, and Takedown: The DNA of GSP is a compelling documentary about the greatest welterweight of all time. The film was shot over a number of years and includes GSP's motivations, his recovery from a severe ACL injury, and even has a villain in opponent Nick Diaz, who hounded the champion with trash talk for years before GSP scored a lopsided win over him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIVDqfLsjBQ
