George St Pierre announced this evening on his Facebook page that he will be getting surgery due to a torn ACL he suffered in training. This will put to rest any talk of GSP returning to UFC anytime soon. Even if he was still fighting for UFC the ACL tear would put him out of action at least until next year. GSP tore his ACL on his right knee in 2012. Here is GSP’s statement:
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%. Stay tuned and thanks for your amazing support, as always. Merci à tous pour vos encouragements.
