Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa went viral Tuesday after landing a superman punch during a fight with Philadelphia Flyer Radko Gudas. On Thursday Bieksa admitted on Twitter that legendary UFC fighter, Georges St-Pierre, was a big inspiration for throwing the punch.
St-Pierre returns to the Octagon next week when he takes on Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title in Madison Square Garden at UFC 217.
Lots of ppl asking - been throwing the SMP for over a decade. Some land some miss. @GeorgesStPierre was big part of the inspiration for it. https://t.co/bzpDkJk2dN
