UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre just released a new video updating fans on the status of his injury. With Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit preparing to fight for an interim version of his welterweight title this coming Saturday at UFC 143, GSP is reminding fans that the champ is still alive, if not entirely well.
"Hi everyone! I'm back in Montreal for the weekend. I just started training gymnastics again. I'm very limited in what I can do but I had a great workout. Pat prepared a great training program for me. I'll see everyone next weekend in Las Vegas for the fight, Condit [vs.] Diaz."

GSP tore the ACL in his right knee while preparing to face Nick Diaz at UFC 143. He had reconstructive surgery in early December. Ironically GSP missed a UFC 137 bout with Carlos Condit due to a strained MCL in his left knee. According to GSP he tore his ACL by favoring his left knee when he returned to training too soon after that injury.

...GSP...cmon
I don’t want to hear that you’re back in gymnastics.
I want you to be rolling with Roger G. I want you to be duing strength and conditioning, get your punching power up.
C’mon buddy.

Gymnastics is one aspect of his strength and conditioning.

Is there a reason he can't do all of that?
Tonley - January 30, 2012
He’s practicing gymnastics so he can duck Diaz more efficiently.
Yeah I went there.

How has GSP ever ducked Diaz
As soon as Diaz came to the UFC GSP accepted a fight against him. Diaz got in trouble with Dana so was pulled from the fight and had to fight BJ instead. After the Diaz/BJ fight, GSP was supposed to fight Condit next. Instead he demanded the UFC let him fight Diaz next.
Not seeing much ducking going on.

this depresses the crap out of me.
i had my acl done november 18th and was told i was having a good recovery.

dont be too hard on yourself.
youre probably not a world class athlete in your prime, recovering with the aid of top medical staff and peds.
and having gspmademegay cater to your every need.

I dont care if you are back training gymnastics
I care if you are back training MMA. Plus wasn’t gymnastics what put you out anyways?
Ricardo Arguello - January 30, 2012
I thought he messed up during wrestling practice.
Tonley - January 30, 2012
It was wrestling both times, AFAIK
People were suggesting that gymnastics wore his joints out a bit or some shit like that, but it was just the usual speculation.
He’s probably doing mostly upper body stuff right now.
