‘Rare' experience with Canadian UFC legend Georges St-Pierre comes to Toronto in September. Here's how to get ticket starting this week
Seen by many as one of the greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history, Georges St-Pierre is heading to Toronto in September for a 'rare and revealing' evening experience at Meridian Hall.
The one-night-only event, according to a news release, will offer fans a 'rare glimpse inside the mind of a fighter who became a global icon.'

The live interview event is set to take place on Monday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. and will be followed by an audience question-and-answer period where fans will get the chance to ask questions and hear personal responses from the former UFC superstar.
'This is a chance to speak from the heart — to share not only what I've done, but what I've learned,' St-Pierre said in the release. 'I've always believed greatness isn't something you're born with — it's something you build, day by day, choice by choice. That's the story I want to tell.'
Tony Gattillo, founder of Gattillo Group and the event's producer, has conducted similar events with the likes of legends like Al Pacino, Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Travolta.
'For Canada, there's no one more inspiring to lead the way than Georges St-Pierre — an icon of discipline, perseverance and authenticity, and a national treasure,' Gattillo said.
An event presale is set to go live on Ticketmaster on Wednesday, July 9, at 10 a.m., followed by a general public sale on Friday, July 11, at 10 p.m.
A limited number of post-show VIP packages will be available, offering an 'intimate post-show experience' with St-Pierre that includes a cocktail reception, professional photo, signed memorabilia and a viewing of his original World Championship belt.

St-Pierre, inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2021, holds the UFC record for most wins in title bouts, and held a professional record of 26 wins and just two losses.
The two-division UFC champion won titles in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions, becoming one of only a few athletes to achieve such a feat in multiple weight classes.
His records include 13 championship wins, nine consecutive title defences, 90 total rounds won and 90 successful takedowns, which is the most in UFC history, according to the event news release.
The UFC legend first retired in 2013, but returned in 2017 at Madison Square Garden to became the UFC Middleweight Champion.
He would announce his retirement from professional mixed martial arts in 2019, and now lives in Montreal and travels the world training with coaches and partners across every discipline.
