Rup Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 how big is GSP there? is he kind of a big deal? I met this girl while on vacation in ohio who was from Canada. I think she said toronto, I already don't remember. anyways I was going to ask if she knew who GSP was but decided I might end up looking stupid and didn't. does the average Canadian know him? in America i'd say the biggest name is chuck liddell and there is no way the average person knows him, let alone a female. oh I did not bang this girl or try to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus9mm Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 He's probably the only Canadian MMA fighter most general folks may have heard about. He won athlete of the year last year I believe. Personally, I don't like Metro-Frenchy in the least........yeah, I'm a jerk like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shogunrua101 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 No. Not really. Probably mostly Quebec. I don't hear to much people hear talk about gsp. But because I live in Calgary maybe that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBJJ Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 he isnt on the news or anything. if you dont watch UFC you likely will not know who he is regardless of if your Canadian or Korean. hes not like sexyama or chael, he isnt a soap star or a politician. all he does is fight in the UFC so if you dont watch you likely dont know him. (unless he ends up wrestling for us in the olympics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Quebec and he is big here and the Ottawa area, definitely bigger than in the rest of Canada in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffy_handsome Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think Crosby is more popular than GSP in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEG Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think Crosby is more popular than GSP in Canada. Well, as big as MMA is and rapidly growing in popularity here, it is nothing and will never be even close to touching hockey. Sidney is pretty much a national hero...but nowhere near as much as Gretzky. Crosby is still relatively new. I think Gretzky has actual God status here. On the political side, it would be Pierre Trudeau...humanitarian, I would think Terry Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba_Pilks Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ya, he's a pretty recognizable figure in Canada. He's won the Canadian Athlete of the year, two years in a row. Lobbied government in Ottawa to get MMA sanctioned in Ontario, which just recently occured and he's on sportcentre a lot. Put it this way, if you watch sports in Canada, you know who he is. The girls that work at bars, know that if he's fighting the place will be packed for every one of his fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomfightfan Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I think Crosby is more popular than GSP in Canada. crosby is def more popular than gsp here, we are a hockey nation, pretty much any white person you ask (not trying to be racist, just lots of the time our immigrants don't care about our sports) will know about hockey, and therefore, crosby i live in sask and even to the people who know about mma, mostly can only remember chuck liddel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
