UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is up for the ESPY "Best Fighter" award.

St-Pierre was the lone mixed martial artist to receive the nomination. Last year Randy Couture and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson received nods.

St-Pierre's challenge for the award will be against reigning ESPY winner Floyd Mayweather Jr. Also nominated in the category are Joe Calzaghe, Holly Holm and Kelly Pavlik.

The 2008 ESPY awards will be taped Wednesday, July 16 in Los Angeles for broadcast on ESPN on Sunday, July 20.
