|  Georges St-Pierre fought Nick Diaz with an injured achilles; trainer hopes he doesn't
Georges St-Pierre fought Nick Diaz with an injured achilles; trainer hopes he doesn't return for at least six months Quote:
According to St-Pierre's trainer Firas Zahabi, the UFC welterweight champion suffered an achilles injury before the March 16 fight, and the injury may have worsened during the five-round bout.
"I was worried it would tear during the fight," Zahabi told MMAFighting.com. "We had to cut his last sparring [session] short due to his injury. He had a week to rest it and then the fight."
The news was first reported by Le Journal de Montreal.
Zahabi said he believed the achilles injury was on the same right leg St-Pierre had surgery on last year to repair a torn ACL, but he didn't think the two injuries were related. He added that he has yet to speak to St-Pierre about the ailment and has no idea how long he'll be sidelined for.

And Nick fought while battling extreme sleep deprivation, so it's basically a wash.

That's the downside to juicing, when you can train whenever you want your body eventually starts to break down.

I didnt notice GSP limping at all for the pre-fight, fight or post-fight media events....
6 month lay off hey... convenient on a few fronts, avoids Hendricks (or at least just long enough to have Hendricks question taking another fight) and awaits the outcome of Silva Weidman.
Just sayin'

Damn, so much hate in here. Anyone have a source, or sources, of when Firas has come up with excuses for a poor performance or loss in the past?

I believe the fever excuse but just piling excuse after excuse when winning is just poor form even if its true.
