The GSP retirement talks just got stronger after it was reported that he suffered another torn ACL from training.
Bad news for fight fans because the wait for GSP's return just got pushed out a little bit whether the former UFC Welterweight champion wanted it or not.
Former UFC welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre announced that he tore his left ACL in training.
Tore my left ACL in training. Surgery in a few days. Rehab, pain, hard work, no shortcuts- I'll soon be back at 100%. Thanks for the support
— Georges St-Pierre (@GeorgesStPierre) March 27, 2014
He also took to his Facebook page with the following:
"Just got confirmation that I tore my left knee ACL during training this week. Surgery in a few days and rehab starts right away. We all face challenges in our lives and I know only one way to take this one: Pain, hard work, no shortcuts and I will soon be back at 100%."
This is the second time since 2011 that the Canadian based fighter will go in for surgery to repair a torn ACL. The first of which happened in the lead up to the Condit fight. It benched the champ for nearly a year and was on was on the other leg.
GSP gave up his title after a recent bout against Johny Hendricks. He cited personal issues as the cause for his leave, and now the prospect of him coming back just got that much less-likely.
Should GSP retire? It's obvious that he won't be in peak condition anymore after his recovery and his mental state won't be the same as well. What do you think? Should GSP recover to keep on fighting or should he retire completely? Sound off in the comments below!
