Georges St-Pierre as "The Crusher"

UFC 100 arrived July 11th and beyond Brock Lesnar acting out, all light was cast upon Georges “Rush” St-Pierre & his victory over Thiago Alves. GSP has proven yet again that he is the rightful Welterweight Champion, and possibly the best pound for pound fighter in any division.

While GSP lives/eats/breathes “Rush” in The Octagon (and his hometown of Montreal, Quebec, Canada), he plays “The Crusher” in upcoming film “Death Warrior“ written by martial artist Hector Echavarria.

The film has more than just those two attached; Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Keith Jardin, and Rashad Evans also lend their real world fighting expertise to this MMA-driven movie.

While you consider who is the “Best Pound for Pound MMA Fighter” – Fedor Emelianenko or Georges St-Pierre – check out this clip from Death Warrior:
