Sorry, Conor McGregor ... Georges St-Pierre believes Royce Gracie -- not you -- is the greatest MMA fighter of all time.
And, he's praising the"UFC 1" champion for paving the way for everyone else!
"Royce Gracie is the one that really changed the sport," GSP tells TMZ Sports ..."[He] changed the entire belief system of what a real fight is."The UFC events back then were tournament-style -- where winners advanced to another fight in the same night. Oh, and weight classes weren't a thing back then either! So you had giant dudes fighting small dudes with basically no real rules.Royce also popularized Gracie Jiu-Jitsu -- which revolutionized the sport.
"We should never forget the guys that were there before us," GSP says ..."We should never forget about these guys. Like Einstein says, we stand on shoulders of giants. They've paved the way for us."
