When Georges St-Pierre took a break from playing in MMA in 2013, one of the jobs he did was to become an actor. In 2014, GSP played the character Batroc in the movie Captain America and the Winter Soldier.
In the universe of Marvel comic book, Batroc is an extremely good mercenary Savate – the traditional French Kickboxing. Not only that, Batroc also practiced weightlifting, helping him to hold back before Captain America.
When re -appearing in the movie “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, Batroc returned and added the object and Jiu Jitsu and the skill set. GSP shared about his style in a recent interview.
“In Winter Soldier, when Batroc fought with Steve Rogers, because he came from a comic book, Batroc was a Savate champion, a form of French kickboxing.
He is also the champion in Olympic weightlifting. That's why he can dance so high, because he has a very strong leg. But when he fought with Rogers, you could see that he only used Savate, ”St-Pierre said in the interview.

Although only appearing relatively short in episode 1 of the series, GSP also shared that his role has not ended.
“If I can leave a message to Falcon. I can tell him that from now on, my brigade and I will be ready for you. And we will make sure he is not lucky like this anymore,” the former Champion of 2 weighted UFC weights said.
