ONE of the greatest fighters in mixed martial arts history visited Deeside at the weekend.
Former UFC Welterweight and Middleweight Champion Georges St-Pierre gave a masterclass at the Combat Sports Agency gym in Sandycroft.
The Canadian UFC legend also met hundreds of fans at an event hosted by the Izakaya Lounge in Chester.
The event was organised by CBD brand Love Hemp, which sponsors Georges St-Pierre - who was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in September.
Ian Munzberger, Love Hemp’s chief partnerships officer, said: “We love bringing stars like Georges St-Pierre to exclusive events like this.
“It’s a chance for fans to not only meet their heroes but, for our competition winners, to attend unique masterclasses and to train alongside world-leading athletes.”
Georges St-Pierre said: “It was my first time in the North West and it was great to visit the beautiful city of Chester and to see North Wales.
"It was exciting to experience the huge interest in mixed martial arts in the region. The support that Love Hemp is giving to the sport is making a big difference.”
