UFC: Ranking George St. Pierre's 12 Title Fight Wins

1. GSP vs. B.J. Penn II

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgYSPnoxAI The first meeting between GSP and B.J. Penn was a welterweight title eliminator at UFC 58 that St. Pierre won by split decision. Their second fight came after GSP was the established champion. It was his second title defence of his second reign, coming after the Jon Fitch fight, and a hugely anticipated rematch set up in the octagon with a face off between the champ and Penn. That might have been the wrong approach for Penn, as it resulted in a fired up GSP. GSP met Penn for the second time at UFC 94 in 2009. During the fight, Penn had a strong first round, but faded afterwards. GSP, meanwhile, went to work. Starting in the second, he began taking Penn down at will, beating him up something fierce. The beating was so one-sided that Penn's corner threw in the towel after fourth round when Penn's cornerman requested that the ref stop the fight. Penn was unable to attend the post-fight press conference and was instead taken to hospital. He later confessed that he had no memory of the last two rounds and was probably out on his feet. Penn would later claim that GSP was "too slippery" due to his corner rubbing grease on him, something that resulted in a bit of a "grease gate" controversy, but UFC President Dana White found that while his corner had applied too much grease, there was no intent to cheat on GSP's part. Additionally, the matter was formally investigated by the NSAC at Penn's request, but they found in favour of GSP. The actual video of the incident showed that GSP's cornerman applied vaseline to the fighter's face, which was legal. He then rubbed the fighters back to loosen him up before removing excess vaseline from his hands - something which appeared unintentional, and shouldn't have made a difference several rounds after the fact, especially since the fighter was also towelled off. With the controversy quashed, what this fight will always be remembered for is the fact that GSP beat B.J. Penn so badly his corner had to throw in the towel, no easy feat against the legendary mutli-weight class champion.
