PrintMuch of the talk about what should happen next with UFC interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit comes down to how much longer "real champion" Georges St. Pierre will be on the shelf after suffering a very serious knee injury. In a recent video put on the UFC's YouTube channel, St. Pierre says that he is currently ahead of schedule, he just needs to be careful to not re-injure himself over the coming weeks and months.
The video:
From the video:
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.

GSP laying the foundation for a "re-injury"
So he doesn’t have to fight Condit?

I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyron Woodley fight.

GSP makes 2 to 3 $million per fight. He will have lost at least 5 $M by the time he fights again, do you really think he’s willing to lose that much money to avoid a guy who lost to Ellenberger and got dominated by Rory McDonald for 2/3 of the fight?
to be fair, he hasn't lost any money.
you can’t lose what you never had. he has missed out on the opportunity to make money.
Don't do it GSP
Plenty of people say that they feel good and they’re ahead of schedule with injuries like these. Then they end up training and hurting it again.

I remember in rolling in jiu jitsu, and my friend/sparring partner did a sweep that really messed up my right shoulder. I went to sparring class two days later, and my shoulder felt fine, but sparring with someone near the end of the session, I threw a punch, it got parried, and I injured the right shoulder pretty badly.
The point is that an injury can feel like it has been healed and that area can feel okay, but that doesn’t mean that area is actually fully healed. I can imagine that a knee injury is something that should be rehabbed with caution.

Good news and he's saying the right things
I just hope he really is taking things slowly. We don’t want him to end up like Shogun.

Famous last words?
Wasn’t that his original injury issue?
He rushed back to training from a previous minor injury and then he made himself worse?

he hasn't got fat ?
so much inactivity, bed rest, and still his bf/muscle composition looks normal as if he has been active, a week after fight night rampage looks like a HW, what gives ?

GSP is a seasoned nutritionist.
Everything related to his job, he studied. He’s not gonna start eating calories and fat when he can’t spend it.

I just hope he doesn't rush it.

Don't worry. GSP hasn't "rushed" anything since he rematched Serra :)

It takes a year to recover 100% from ACL reconstruction. That’s what my surgeon said, anyway. After six months you’re 90%, but it really takes a year to be normal. I grant that GSP is rehabbing full time instead of dragging over to the PT office after work like I did, but he is nuts if takes a chance with it.

I had acl surgery
I couldn’t go in the water at the beach or do anything to risk loosening my graft. George would be FUCKED if he loosened his graft. It’s either get surgery again, or fight and lose because you didn’t take care of your knee right.
before you reply to this comment, think. Are you mad?
Maybe it just me
But I don’t feel like my 2012 will be negatively affected by not seeing GSP win another tepid 5 round decision. Please, by all means, take all the time you need Georges and then some.
If GSP is healthy
Barring Condit landing three straight right hands to rock GSP like Matt Serra did, he is a bad style match up for GSP. If Diaz can get him down and take his back, I think GSP could probably take him down, pass, and ride out a decision.
