What does one do in life after achieving all of his life goals. Probably just enjoy the finer things in life. George St-Pierre became a two-division champion in the UFC back in the year 2017. He’s often considered the most complete and the greatest mixed martial artist of all time in the UFC.

In a recent interview he revealed a rather hilarious yet scary anecdote during his time in Rwanda.
George St-Pierre got scared in Rwanda
George St-Pierre had the scare of his life in Rwanda. Rwanda is a known habitat for the majestic creature. The silverback gorillas. Silver back gorillas in their prime can weigh up to 600 pounds and can easily rag doll a human being if they wanted to. In a video uploaded by Full Mount MMA, GSP said,
I actually got chased by a silverback gorilla. I was in Rwanda, I did gorilla trekking. He looked at me, he comes, he went towards me. I get out of the way and I put my knees on the floor like this and I was like, man, I was like, ‘Please, please.’ And then I look, he’s not in front of me.
GSP revealed that he was chased by a silverback and had to run away to save his life while he was in Gorilla trekking. George St-Pierre had to cower down on the ground in order to avoid instigating violence from the wild animal. The former champion revealed that he had never been this scared before.
George St-Pierre stated that he doesn’t think his martial arts ability would have been effective if the situation with the silverback would have been escalated. Silverback is not an animal you mess up with or try to act smart in front of given the massive size difference between the primate and an average human being.
