Georges St-Pierre is healed up enough to get back to combat sports.
That’s the big announcement “Rush” made on his social media accounts yesterday (Thurs., April 4, 2024) after several months of healing and rehab from an injured shoulder.
“Finally today I got the green light from the Doc to start back to go live slowly in Combat Sport,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Attached was a video of the Canadian mixed martial arts (MMA) legend doing some heavy shoulder exercises.
Don’t get too excited about the possibility of St-Pierre returning to active competition in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) or another MMA promotion. “GSP” has maintained that he will stay retired from full-on fighting, but is interested in testing himself in other avenues.
Indeed, St-Pierre was set to face off against Nick Diaz at a UFC Fight Pass Invitational 5 in Dec. 2023 (full results here). Unfortunately, Diaz got injured, then St-Pierre got injured, canceling the reported rematch.
Hopefully, fight fans can see that come back together. Diaz recently updated his Instagram, declaring an, “ass whupping was imminent.” Now, St-Pierre is doing the same in his more polite Canadian fashion.
Let’s rebook that as soon as possible.
