Georges St-Pierre news reveals that "GSP" had been medically cleared by his doctors to resume his MMA training. Meanwhile, UFC President Dana White is confident that the former welterweight champion will be able to make his Octagon return soon.
Early last week, reports arose about a lunch meeting between St-Pierre and UFC executives Dana White and Lorenzo Fertita in the fighter's hometown of Montreal in Canada. White, however, opted to keep mum about the said get-together.
"We love the food in Montreal so we figured we would fly there for some lunch. The weird part was GSP was there too! Crazy! Was good to c him ;-)," White said in a report by The Province
Georges St-Pierre news also reveals that according to the latest update by trainer Firas Zahabi regarding his fighter's physical condition, it is believed that "GSP" will not be able to be in tip-top shape for another year.
"My personal opinion is he still has plenty of competitive juice in him," Zahabi said in a previous intervie with ESPN. "I don't think he'll be anywhere near fight shape until he's late-34 -- mid-34. I think he's got a few fights in him but I don't want to speak for the guy. He might retire and no one could blame him."
However, the most recent updates on Georges St-Pierre news reveals that the 33-year old fighter had been given the green light by doctors to resume training. The news was announced by Dana White himself during last week's edition of UFC.com's The Download.
"They cleared GSP's knee," White said. "After surgery like that it still takes about another 30 days before you start to mentally feel right. But he's in a good spot."
While St-Pierre has been out of action since November 2013, the UFC president is confident that "GSP" will be able to make a comeback soon.
"His knee just got cleared and he'll start training again and getting back into shape," White continued. "He'll let us know when he's ready."
