Former UFC Welterweight Champion and reigning UFC Middleweight Champion Georges “Rush” St-Pierre made his triumphant return to the cage last month, stopping then Champion Michael Bisping in the third round via rear naked choke.
But after a four-year layoff, it looks like St-Pierre could be on the sidelines again, this time due to some health issues.
In a Facebook post from yesterday, Rush said:
I now understand the health issues that I had during my last training camp… I hoped my condition would improve after the fight but unfortunately it got worse and I had to go straight to the hospital for a colonoscopy when I came back from vacation last Wednesday. The diagnosis is ulcerative colitis and I am now taking medication that will hopefully appease the symptoms. My health is my #1 priority right now, I’m still a very happy man, thanks for your support!!!
Could GSP be MIA again? Unfortunately, fans will have to wait and see.
