Georges St. Pierre back in the gym : Five Ounces of Pain

UFC welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre is known as a gym rat, as GSP likes nothing more than fine-tuning himself in the training center. However, St. Pierre was forced to stay away from his second home after tearing his ACL and undergoing surgery. Now the champ is back in action, at least in some regards.

St-Pierre posted on his Twitter account that he has been cleared to do light gymnastics work back in Montreal alongside one of his coaches.

“Great to be back in Montreal and start training again with my gymnastics coach Pat Beauchamp,” St. Pierre posted. In a short video on his official YouTube page “Rush” also explained he is very limited in what he is allowed to do.

In the meantime St. Pierre will have to sit by as the UFC crowns an interim welterweight champion this weekend at UFC 143 with Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit squaring off for the honor. While St. Pierre is hopeful to be back early this summer, it is likely that the winner of Diaz-Condit will make at least one title defense before GSP is cleared to fight again.

I think he's gonna come back a little earlier than expected, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Diaz

Actually, even if he comes back as late as he thought originally, I still think it's gonna be Diaz

Doesn't Diaz have to beat condit first?? just sayin. He fights whoever has the title when he returns come on now.

Diaz, gsps gunna rush back to soon i think and either injure himself again in training or not be 100% like he needs to be when he gets in the cage with a killer like diaz or condit

Well yeah, I thought that was implied, since it was a question of "who" he was going to fight next. If Diaz weren't fighting Condit, then there would be no point in asking the question

This is my biggest worry dude.

GSP puts alot of pressure on himself it seems, I could see him feeling guilty or something about sitting on the sidelines, and take a short noticed fight or fuck himself up somehow over training.

I rather wait a full year to see GSP fight the champ, both at 100%, and have a fucking war. Rather then GSP rush it back, maybe lose and tarnish his legacy.

With all this said, I dont think the injury was AS bad as the media(and us) made it seem.
