The statue was unveiled in 'GSP's' hometown of St-Isidore in Quebec, Canada in a public square dedicated to the fighter called Place GSP. Unfortunately, the statue has become a constant target for Twitter trolls due to its resemblance to Barack Obama. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post One netizen hinted that the statue looked like the former US president stating that the sculptor of the statue was definitely a democrat: "evidently, the Artist is a democrat." Ernesto Eduardo@eedobarganes@UFC_CA @GeorgesStPierre evidently, the Artist is a democrat.4@UFC_CA @GeorgesStPierre evidently, the Artist is a democrat. With the unveiling of the statue, Georges St-Pierre also joins the unfortunate likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah, who also have similarly tragic bronze statues of their own.

Fans React to Georges St-Pierre s Obamaesque bronze statue Reacting to the bronze statue dedicated to Georges St-Pierre, @BeneFactumGames stated that maybe the original work was supposed to be an Obama statue and changed plans after the client bailed: "Maybe the sculptor started on an Obama statue but the client bailed partway through and he thought he'd have to eat the loss until the GSP contract came along and he was like, wait, I can save this!"
