Sherdog’s Top 10: Most Prolific Strikers in UFC History

1. Georges St. Pierre

Years from now, MMA historians will still speak of St. Pierre in glowing superlatives.

A two-time UFC welterweight champion and the cornerstone of the Tristar Gym in Montreal, St. Pierre’s 19 victories -- he recorded 12 of them in title bouts -- tie him with Michael Bisping for first on the UFC’s all-time list. “Rush” compiled a 19-2 record inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship and avenged the only two defeats on his ledger, as he put away Matt Hughes twice and bludgeoned Matt Serra with knees to the body. St. Pierre plastered his name all over the statistical leaderboard before vacating his title and walking away from the sport in 2013. During his reign over the welterweight division, he posted wins over Josh Koscheck, B.J. Penn, Jon Fitch, Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Jake Shields, Carlos Condit, Nick Diaz and Johny Hendricks.

Though he has been out of the sport for nearly three years, St. Pierre remains the UFC’s all-time leader in total strikes landed (2,523). That he amassed that figure against cream-of-the-crop opposition makes it all the more impressive.
