Why does GSP wear a headband?

 
Georges St-Pierre's headband is worn in honor of his first karate teacher:

When I was 7, I started in Kyokushinkai Karate. My old karate teacher, Jean Couture, gave it to me. He was a sixth-degree blackbelt, and he has since died. I wear the headband because it's a way for me to remember what he taught me, and it's also one way that I show him respect.
