Georges St-Pierre is taking his place among other celebrated Canadian athletes such as NHL goalie Jacques Plante and Paralympian Rick Hansen at the Canadian Museum of History. The museum announced Thursday it has acquired the mixed-martial artist's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) belt from his victory over B.J. The Canadian Museum of History has acquired mixed martial arts legend Georges St-Pierre’s 2009 Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 94 title belt. He holds the all-time record for most UFC title wins — 26 — and is still fighting at the age of 37. "I would never have thought one day that ... an MMA fighter would be able to expose his belt in the Canadian history museum," he said.
