The welterweight division has produced some of the UFC’s most legendary champions. Georges St-Pierre dominated the weight class for over six years with nine title defenses. Matt Hughes built a Hall of Fame career crushing opponents with his wrestling. Robbie Lawler won fans over with his violent wars and championship heart. More recently, fighters like Kamaru Usman, Leon Edwards, and Belal Muhammad have carried the torch forward. The 170-pound division consistently delivers incredible talent and memorable fights across every era. Most fans consider GSP the clear welterweight GOAT given his record-breaking title reign and technical brilliance. But Dana White apparently disagrees with that consensus. <\/p>
During recent behind-the-scenes footage for the Pound 4 Pound podcast<\/strong> with Henry Cejudo and Kamaru Usman, Dana White reveals his greatest welterweight of all time pick, and fans can’t believe it’s not GSP. <\/p> The UFC<\/a> president shocked everyone by naming Kamaru Usman (21-4<\/a>) as the division’s GOAT instead of Georges St-Pierre. White even said he would debate anyone who disagreed with his controversial opinion. It’s a bold take considering GSP’s legendary status, and the statement immediately sparked heated discussions across social media about welterweight rankings.<\/p> “You heard all the things that I said about you with your ’30 percent’ comment, and now I’m sitting here today, and I’ll fuc***g whoever wants to debate it with me, that you [Usman] are the greatest welterweight of all-time.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Dana White Makes A Case For Kamaru Usman Over GSP<\/h2>
