UFC GOAT contender Georges St-Pierre gives expert take on viral 100 men vs. 1 gorilla debate

MMA all-time great and former two-division UFC champion Georges St-Pierre recently chimed in on the viral "100 men vs. 1 Gorilla" debate. This hypothetical battle has been setting the internet world on fire, with celebrities, athletes, and other famous personalities having their takes on which side would win.

To St-Pierre, the numbers will play a huge role in the outcome. However, sheer overwhelming size wouldn't get the job done so easily - it takes planning and sacrifice to get the job done.

Georges St-Pierre said:

"Let me give you my take on the famous debate that goes on online on who would win in a fight between a silverback gorilla and a hundred men. I think it would be a hundred men if they are smart enough to go all at once and rush together. Of course, there will be casualties. But there you go. You have it from a so-called expert."

"I'm in."
