Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has become one of the most successful fighters in the history of the organization since first stepping inside the Octagon against Karo Parisyan at UFC 46: "Supernatural" on Jan. 31, 2004.

In hindsight, the event name couldn't have been dubbed any more perfectly because more than nine years after first stepping foot in the eight-walled cage, the 31-year-old has turned into a supernatural talent and is one of the greatest mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters to ever walk the planet.

St. Pierre (23-2) has done it all inside the Octagon, and this Saturday night (March 16, 2013) at UFC 158: "St. Pierre vs. Diaz," the French-Canadian will look to further add to his tremendous resume with a victory over arch nemesis Nick Diaz at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Every time "Rush" steps in the cage it is a monumental occasion for the sport, and with one of the most significant bouts of his career just around the corner, what better time than now to take a closer look at all the achievements St. Pierre has under his belt thus far.
