Georges St-Pierre Back to Full-Time Training

[No More Sorrow]

Everyone has been waiting for word that Georges St-Pierre is good to go and will be able to unify his UFC welterweight championship with the interim belt around Carlos Condit’s waist at UFC 154 in November in Montreal.

Well, we can’t exactly say that just yet, but St-Pierre has given a good reason for hope that it may happen.


“I’m back in Montreal and full-time training! Already tried a few kicks – right knee is super strong…,” St-Pierre wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday.


St-Pierre tore his ACL in training late last year and had to undergo surgery and an extensive rehabilitation process.


None would be more excited than UFC president Dana White, who has fallen short of main event caliber bouts lately, especially for pay-per-views. White already confirmed that November is the target for St-Pierre’s return, and Wednesday’s post by the champion certainly helps strengthen the odds.


St-Pierre vs. Condit in November would give the UFC a strong event heading into year’s end, and also start the process of unclogging a glut of contenders in the welterweight division.


Jake Ellenberger, Johny Hendricks, and Martin Kampmann had all been knocking on the door. With GSP on the sidelines and Condit waiting for him, however, Ellenberger and Kampmann headlined the TUF Live Finale, Kampmann eliminating Ellenberger as a contender for the time being.


Should St-Pierre return to face Condit in November as planned, Kampmann and Hendricks will square off on the supporting card, setting up the next immediate contender for the winner, save for a rematch.


The way the injury bug has bitten the UFC over the summer, however; it’s probably not advisable to hold your breath on the scenario playing out as smoothly as White would like.

Seems like he's all set to fuck Condit up now.

When you say "fuck up" you mean hold him down for five rounds right?

: Yes, but as a huge Condit hater i can still hope for him to get Ko'd.

Condit will sport one giant bruise on his thigh from the jock that was constantly clinging to him during his fight with GSP.

Nahhhh whatever Condit's strength is... GSP is gonna use it against him... prob jab him a lot and then a bunch of takedowns. Hoping he'll deliver a good kick and KO him.

I don't think GSP knows how to KO people. I still think he's gonna win, but he's absolutely not going to finish.

 

[Slim]

I miss the GSP of old that was a wrecking machine

Can you blame him?

Going by Condit/Diaz, thats pretty much the only way to make a fight out of it, otherwise GSP is gonna be doing a lot of chasing.

I don't understand Condit haters at all. So what one fight and now people are going to start getting on his case. The guy was a knockout machine before that fight and was really entertaining. Its pretty annoying but people always had their complaints. Other than Evans, he's my favorite fighter so I'm excited to see him go. I'm not expecting a win but seriously the amount of haters he gets is pretty ridiculous. He's also a humble guy, not some loudmouth jackass like Nick Diaz.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I've just never been a fan of the guy, his entire career. It had nothing to do with the Nick Diaz fight although that didn't help the case at all.

There's a few of his fights i did enjoy, like his KO of Dan Hardy and his fight with Rory MacDonald but I've just never been overly impressed with the guy.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Thats fair just think he deserves more credit. I think you forgot the most impressive knockout was against Dong hyun kim

 

[No More Sorrow]

That was like a flying knee right? I'll have to look it up, i can't really picture it off the top of my head.

 

[The Cork]

I like him and didn't even think the Diaz fight was that bad, just saying you can hardly criticise GSP for shutting down fights when Condit is guilty of the same.

It was a flying knee.
