UFC fighters are often seen as heroes, inspiring fans to work hard, stay disciplined, and never quit. However, sometimes UFC legends disappoint their fans by acting outside the octagon. That’s exactly what happened with Georges St-Pierre, who recently shared a bear hunting photo on social media. This sparked controversy and let down many fans who admire him not just for his skills but also for his character.
The UFC legend shared a photo with a black bear he had hunted, revealing it was his first time hunting. This unexpected move surprised many who look up to him for his dedication and discipline in the sport. The post sparked a wide range of reactions, but largely, fans felt disappointed.
One fan said, “Shooting a bear is fu**ed up.”

Moments like these remind us that even heroes can make questionable choices. However, he isn’t the only fighter thrashed for hunting down an animal.
UFC Legend Brock Lesnar Loves Hunting
Brock Lesnar’s talent for tracking and hunting animals is well-known, but handling the meat after the hunt is equally vital. To sharpen these skills, he partnered with The Bearded Butchers. He enjoys hunting so much that he bought acres of land in Saskatchewan. Along with farming, the wooded areas let him hunt whenever he wanted, from bears to moose, turning his passion into a lifestyle.
Whenever a picture of him hunting surfaces, the public often lashes out. People criticize his actions, regardless of their legality or tradition. GSP faced the same response when his hunting photos came out, and the backlash followed. Both stirred strong reactions, proving how easily public figures ignite controversy when they engage in hunting.
