UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre has been nominated in the “Best Fighter” category for this year’s ESPY awards by ESPN.

Everyone reading this post right now needs to head over to the ESPY voting site and vote for GSP. Seriously, stop what you are doing and do it right now. If you don’t, I don’t ever want you visiting this site again because you don’t deserve it.

Here’s the clip from UFC.com

On July 20th, UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre will attempt to become the first mixed martial artist to win an ESPN ESPY award, as he has been nominated for the ‘Best Fighter’ award following a 12 month period that has seen him decision Josh Koscheck, submit Matt Hughes, and TKO Matt Serra to regain his 170-pound crown.

St-Pierre’s competitors in the ‘Best Fighter’ category include boxers Joe Calzaghe, Holly Holm, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Kelly Pavlik. To vote for St-Pierre, visit www.espys.tv.
