UFC legend Georges St-Pierre shares mind-boggling facts about dinosaurs

UFC legend Georges St-Pierre recently posted on social media about one of the most dangerous dinosaurs to have existed.

St-Pierre got onto Instagram to repost a post from The Washington Post's climate coverage account regarding the Tyrannosaurus rex popularly known as T-Rex. It is a carnivorous dinosaur that has been widely represented in many forms of media, especially movies in the 'Jurassic World' franchise.

'GSP' posted:

The post mentioned a fascinating new discovery about the creature:

"The T. Rex may have been a lot smarter than we thought... The dinosaur's cerebrum contained enough neurons to solve problems and even form cultures, a new study found."

Often associated with its ferocity and imposing physical features such as its large set of teeth, massive skull and powerful hind legs, the discovery of the T-Rex's mental capabilities gives it a newfound edge in its status as an apex predator.

Fans react to Georges St-Pierre sharing newest discovery about dinosaurs

Fans replied to Georges St-Pierre's Instagram post on the Tyrannosaurus rex with varied reactions.

Fans raised questions about how the T-Rex weighed against 'GSP' himself and labeled the former two-division UFC champion as the "best killing machine."

"But can trex beat GSP??"
"I think you've uploaded the wrong photo.. caption says the best killing machine that ever lived and its not a selfie 🤷‍♂️"

Other fans questioned the legitimacy of the discovery while also debating the existence of dinosaurs in the first place.

"Question. How the f**k do we know…"
"If only they were real"
"Dinosaurs were invented by sir Richard Owen of the royal society. There has never been a complete dinosaur skeleton found. Look into the “bone wars”. It’s nonsense."
"😂😂😂 Dinosaurs... people will believe anything."
"What study? The "trust me bro" study?"

One fan also made a humorous mixed martial arts reference by bringing into play the T-Rex's diminutive front limbs.

"Still couldn’t armbar any other dinosaurs with those tiny little arms though. It was smart enough to know how, but it just couldn’t pull it off 😂"
