According to UFC President Dana White, who was a recent guest on Boomer & Carton on WFAN in New York (via SportsRadioInterviews.com), it's none other than welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre.
The Zuffa boss also pegs Brock Lesnar and Anderson Silva as top dogs in their respective weight classes.
"There's a lot. Brock Lesnar is still a big star for us. We've got Anderson Silva, who is the best fighter in the world. Rampage Jackson is a big star for us ... We have premier fighters in every weight class. We have been very lucky because we have so many stars. When he asked me a couple of minutes ago who's your biggest star? If I had to pick one biggest start I'd say Georges St. Pierre is our biggest star."
White, naturally, has a biased opinion. What's yours? Vote in our poll after the jump and let us know "Who is the biggest star in the UFC."
Anyone think St. Pierre's inability to secure a finish in recent fights hurts his popularity? Or Lesnar's on-again, off-again relationship with his intestines? How important is actual ability as it pertains to influencing your vote?
Sound off!
