Relive the night Georges St-Pierre competed in the UFC's octagon for the final time, and did so with an incredible accomplishment.

The longtime former welterweight champion returned to action for the first time in four years and challenged Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title in the main event of UFC 217, which took place Nov. 4, 2017 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

After a tough start that saw St-Pierre busted open by Bisping, "Rush" was able to hurt his opponent en route to a third-round rear-naked choke submission to become a two-division champion.

The main event between St-Pierre and Bisping capped off a fight card with three title bouts, which also included Cody Garbrandt defending the bantamweight belt against rival T.J. Dillashaw and Rose Namajunas challenging Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the strawweight title.

UFC 217 also featured a welterweight matchup between Stephen Thompson and Jorge Masvidal, along with Paulo Costa vs. Johny Hendricks in a middleweight bout.
