Georges St. Pierre knee injury update: 'I'm ahead of schedule'

UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre gives Jon Anik of Ultimate Insider an update on his knee injury and recovery. As expected with a freak athlete like "Rush," he's ahead of schedule:
"I feel very good. I'm ahead of schedule. I feel sometimes I want to do a little bit more but even though I feel good my graft is not fused properly, 100-percent. I need to remain calm. The danger with a lot of athletes is to push through the pain and try to go to fast. If I do so, it might loosen up the graft and I might have to start the old process again and I don't want to do that."
The timetable for his return is still roughly the same -- somewhere around November -- but, no different than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, St. Pierre assures he'll be back better than ever.
When he does return, he'll have a match-up against Interim Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit awaiting him, a bout he says will be -- you guessed it -- the most difficult of his career. Only in this case, that may be closer to the truth than it's not.
Oh, and don't think he forgot to mention Nick Diaz. He's still pleading with the Stockton slugger not to retire so they can settle up inside the Octagon later on down the road.
Sounds good to us, right Maniacs?

Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209

We all know that the best guys in the UFC are fighting 4-5 times a year.
… lol… Remember when Dana was trashing Fedor about that yet his top guys barely fought.
The only person that has the balls to fight more than a few times is Jones. That’s why that cocky baddass gets my respect.

Bones is the man, and hopefully this year will be the last year any UFC champ fights once a year without being injured, that is just crazy.

Injury or not
Anderson has only fought twice a years since 2007
GSP is the same case with only one fight in 2011.
Frankie is the same.

Anderson is 36...
And the long reigning MW champion…if he wants to take a year off to scratch his balls thoroughly I will respect his decision

True that!
Silva and GSP fought often when they were young too. Doubt Jones fights as often when he’s in his mid/late 30’s. All of the training takes such a toll on your body, takes a lot to do a full camp later on in your career.
He's the champ.
He’s expected to fight, not make excuses as to why he shouldn’t fight whether they be true or not.
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
That is not what I said.
He has fought 2 times a year for a very long time.
You can’t tell me he was injured every single time?
"..That man has to be eliminated." - Fedor Emelianenko
2 times isn't that bad.
3 times is average, 2 is a slow year and 1 is just ridiculous.
Now, count up your crimes!

I am not impressed with your performance!
Talk about taking advantage of an injury. I’m not doubting that he has a legit injury but then again, so does everyone else. He wants to build a legacy and it’s not gonna happen sittin on the sidelines getting a bunch of decision victories. GSP, Please take a chance once in your life. Stop listening to your sports psychologist because she doesn’t no shit about fighting.
He already has took a chance, 13 times when he finished 13 other people.

Are you trolling?
His injury is very serious. He’s the WW champ of the world. His legacy as well as sponsorships are on the line? Why would he take a chance fighting before he’s healed? That’s idiotic. He’s a professional athlete for fucks sake.

What the hell do you need that shit for?
I don’t see what the allure is for that stuff. Yes I tried it when I was in my early 20’s and all I wanted to do was just do nothing. Pretty exciting stuff. Shrooms on the other hand…….

cut GSP some slack
the guy has defended his belt six times. That is the most of any WW.
People like to hate.
If a guy wins too much then they critic his style, if he loses too much they’ll say he sucks.
Now, count up your crimes!
by Cyclonejoker on Feb 17, 2012 11:21 PM EST up reply actions
If gsp layed and prayed and lost we would still hate his style
Its because of his genetic advantage and athletic prowess that we are so mad he does everything he can to cling to his opponents body and prevent any real fight from occurring . It’s not because he’s a winner it’s because we all know how devastating he could be

Two things . .
1. People who post those stupid pics, f*&k OFF
2. Hope he comes back earlier, Condit needs to fight him now, not Ellenberger

I'd rather him make sure he is 100% healed
No point coming in to a fight early just to injure yourself worse just to appease your fan base.

How cool is that?
Georges asking Diaz not to retire, he’s in his prime, etc. I know part of it is because he wants to beat Diaz, but I think he’s also being sincere. What a class act, to pay respect to someone who has done nothing but disrespect him. That’s a very hard to do, and it demonstrates once again that Georges is, simply put, a high quality human being. That’s the difference between a true martial artist and a fighter, which is what Nick Diaz will always be.
