By Équipe de rédaction UFC • Oct. 27, 2017

 

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.
