UFC Champion Georges St-Pierre Hurt And Out Of UFC 137 With Knee Injury.
A knee injury has knocked GSP off the card, though the extent of it isn’t known. White didn’t immediately state what the organization will do as a back-up plan.
UFC 137 takes place Oct. 29 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. The night’s main card airs on pay-per-view, and prelims air on Spike TV and stream on Facebook.
sucks man.. was really looking forward to this fight
for $50K I’ll fight him, even though I would get KO’d.
Hope the injury isn’t too bad and he’s back in the game soon. Also, hope Diaz doesn’t freak out now he’s in the main event and start missing press conferences.
This card just hit the suck button.
First Diaz incident now this. Whatever men i think Jon Fitch should jump in and fight Condit or someone else because i dont think Condit really deservs a tittle shot. Even thou i think he is the most dangerous guy for Gsp. He only won 4 straight fights and barely won a desion againts Jake elemberger. Or they can have condit vs elemberger 2 for a tittle shot! F*** Penn he got to many chances. Dont wanna see him getting beat by Gsp anymore.
LOL @ torres007
This is crap… will wait for the fights to show up here. Bruno is way more reliable than Dana.
ellenberger, fitch, rory macdonald for a rematch. theres enuff ppl for condit to fight. but if gsp is only out for a couple months then he might as well wait.
Son of a bitch. That is all.
Guess BJ penn was right Diaz vs. Penn is the real main event. LOL
i think it could be jon finch vs condit
Dana can’t keep fighters from getting hurt. I think they should put this on FOX now though, would be an awesome promo
and the real shitter is that the diaz fight is not a 5 rounder
whack
this is the real main event anyway but i did wanna see that fight
The real question now is: Are they really going to lock BJ Penn in a cage with Diaz for five rounds? It should happen but somehow I think BJ squirms out of that.
That is karma to White and GSP for knocking Diaz off the Championship fight over a press conference. You fine him $$$ for missing it, you don’t take his title shot.
All we need now is BJ Penn to sprain his wrist and we can watch Diaz beat the crap out of Condit.
Oh F*** off.
Nick Diaz must have had a smile from ear to ear.
The irony of it all is that Nick Diaz gets to headline the event. Go Nick!!
let me tell you one thing if his knee isn’t totally shot this is BS. Diaz may miss press conferences but tell me the last time he backed out of a card 10 days before the fight. GSP is not even on the top 10 lbs for lbs in my opinion. Dana needs to quit protecting him. So lame
by the way well rounded doesn’t mean a wrestler with as jab.
s***.
heheh
I’m sure Nick wouldn’t do it but he holds the cards if he wants to ask for main even money. I hope he’s worse to Dana after this than Tito ever was.
Imagine if Diaz hadn’t been scrapped from the GSP fight, and now people would be saying GSP bitched out.. Some MMA fans can be so stupid.
great now im in agony. good thing dana didnt pull a interim title bullshit!
I wish dana would find another main card.. Diaz doesn’t deserve main event money..
gonna be 3 not 5 rounds
Confirmed Diaz/Penn 3 round fight.
So all main events are 5 rounds unless they feel the need to protect a legacy.
…all non-title main event bouts in the UFC would be five-round affairs, giving the fighters at the top of the card an extra two rounds to battle out from now on.
Even main events on Spike TV or Versus cards? You bet. Even late replacements that get shuffled into the main event? Absolutely, said White
…….
Even late replacements that get shuffled into the main event? ABSOLUTELY, said White.
say what?
it should be condit vs diaz – winner gets title shot against gsp. oh, and it should be free on spike or vs
I think it’s the first time GSP has been injured before a fight, significantly to not fight. And first time he’s had a short notice switch up against a dangerous fighter. No facts, just a hunch, I bet he’s dodging for more time to prepare a lay and pray approach.
Damn! Was really looking forward to GSP v Diaz. You never know what’s going to win: the brash slugger who’s also a f****** Gracie black-belt, or the disciplined man who Does It All.
Penn v Diaz: also a good matchup… but I will put some hard cold cash down that Penn will try to stand with Diaz and get KTFO.
oh well at least nick diaz or penn isnt injured. Its just boring gsp. Ill still buy the ppv for sure.
THAT JUST HAPPEN
GSP slipped on some vaseline and roasted his knee…dammit that sucks!!!!
another dana poof. gsp first dodge ever . you should mark your calendars,defeat by forfeit
Their probally just stalling, I predict Gsp will fight on Fox card now….
5 round non title main events will start after ufc on fox..so all u haters sucking on diaz dick STFU no one is protecting BJs legacy..BJ Penn aint scared to fight 5 rounds..Penn is making a run for the title and has been training hard..hes been humble and he wants to be a champion again, whats wrong with that? You punks just hate him and judge him because of the stuff he has said in the past..theres nothing wrong about him wanting to make a run for the title and doing mma as long as it last he claims..mma is a fighters life..its hard for a legend to walk away from the sport they love and do..look at randy couture, bhop, brett favre, michael jordan, they all did there sport as far as they could.
Ah, I guess GSP’s excuse for not having to fight Condit is a sore knee. He obviously wants to hold on to his belt a little longer. Only delaying the inevitable, Condit will take the belt when the fight happens.
injury gate?
troll ass fake idiot ” fans “, man i almost wish mma wasnt as popular again so that there wouldnt be so many of you dumb ass monkey caveman f**** commenting on the sport as if you had the gift of intelligent spoken thought.
if this statement offends you, it probably applies.
s*** happen and so faking happen in all sports especially the big paid one…u know boxing…things like that lol….huhm got everyone left to wonder????????
GSP has ALWAYS had the swollen knee problem. This is a fact, stated on video by the same trainer. Apparently, fluid swells in one of his knees after training. One option was surgery, the other is have 2-3 guys lay him on his back (no not what you think), and apply vasaline (no still not what you think), and alternately squeeze down his leg applying pressure to force the fluid out of his knee. So this Zaheeb, Zahab dude, is just bs’n in my opinion. “Swollen, knee, i’ve seen this before, I don’t know what it’s called”. Looks guilty… I have never called a fighter to dodge, but unless they have a reason, Rashad’s broken thumb, Cain’s torn rotator cuff, I say it’s bs. Simply, I’ve seen it before, in reference to something that apparently happens all the time after training… puhlease…
GSP didnt even get hurt it is a bullshit gimik to hype up the fight wow MMA fans r such tools!
fuuuuuck! why God WHY?!
@YGHURR1CANE
Exactly the 1st 5 round non title fight is and always was schedueled to be Munoz vs Leben in UFC 138.That’s why Leben said he was happy to be in a page of UFC history.They are just dumb retards who have to hate a guy if they like the other.Just like WWE fans they can’t like 2 guys and know they will make a good fight,they absolutly have to hate a guy and hope he loses and love a guy and hope he wins.That’s some WWE fan BS.But of course we shouldn’t even care about what these guys think they can’t even know their facts.
if i had bought tickets i guess id be bummed but i didnt so the show must go on and injuries are a big part of this sport and we dont want to hear excuses yada yada yada… just have to be patient and these match-ups will happen, ive got the rest of my life, no worries here!
I wonder hoe bad his knee is….Fuked up knees really suck!
This card went from awesome, to meeehhh…to s***….very fast
hmmm is levercham on to something ?? .. seriously .. way to many conspiracy theories running around right now from some very bored minds .. where is all this “faking injury” talk when any other fighter has pulled up lame ?? honestly is anyone here really thinking hes hiding from condit ?? sounds kinda crazy to me when gsp was lined up and willing to fight anderson silva had that idiot not acted like a d/bag when he fought d. maia .. ?? .. come on people ….
I don’t think he’s hiding. I think he feels he needs more time to prepare. He’s not a street fighter, instinct fighter. Carlos is. GSP is a master preparer, and planner for fights. That’s the only way he wins.
^agreed.
Not saying he pulled out, but, it would be the best strategy to employ, to allow time to prepare properly.
Not saying GSP would have lost, but, without Greg, and, without time to prepare, it would have been the only time I wouldn’t have had 100% faith that GSP’d take it.
the funny thing is, when GSP destroys whoever he fights, most of these idiots on here bashing GSP will suck a dick. its too funny. But GSP needs a real test for a fight for sure..
Nick diaz vs bj penn should of been the main even in the first. F*** boring ass gsp aka sleeping pill aka robot talker.
I don’t hate BJ Penn (quite the contrary) nor do I think he’s scared. It is my opinion, however, that he would get embarrassed in a five rounder with Diaz.
Anyone who says this is a bad card is just fooling themselves. Sure they took the cherry off the top, but some of us have been waiting to see Diaz/Penn for a very long time. This is a winner. Thank you Dana.
I was really intrigued though to see fans leaving before the so called main event.
Oh wait, let me try to understand this.
Diaz is insulted, degraded, and punished for not attending a press conference.
GSP is ok pulling out of a fight.
Now the same guy (Diaz) whom Dana / UFC defamated is the guy to save the show.
