Today Georges St. Pierre’s trainer at TriStar Gym in Montreal says that Georges is looking great, and his knee is 100% structurally but his coordination, and moving around on that knee is not 100%.
In an interview today with BloodyElbow.com, Zahabi says Georges has been over-compensating on one side, moving a particular way while he has been dealing with his injury, and “now we're trying to get him to move again like he used to”
“It's going to take some time, but I tell you, Georges is a great athlete. He's been making leaps and bounds in the gym. He's progressing and every sparring session he's doing better and better. I really think in August, he'll be ready to start a training camp again. I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch, but he's really looking good.”
When asked how long he’s been back at the gym working out Zahabi said:
“ He just started martial arts training, it's been about four weeks now. I'm talking like sparring and wrestling and moving around. After not sparring or wrestling for eight months, that first month is hard, but I think it went smoothly.”
So with August starting tomorrow, I’m sure we’ll find out in a few weeks or less if GSP’s knee will hold up during training, And if it is, GSP vs Condit in Montreal at UFC 154 is on!
