Georges St-Pierre suffering from colitis, will be 'out for a minute'

[Freeloading Rusty]

It appears plans for Georges St-Pierre’s next fight are on hold. The UFC middleweight champion is suffering from colitis and will be out of action indefinitely, according to UFC President Dana White.

White revealed St-Pierre’s (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC) medical situation during a media scrum with reporters following tonight’s TUF 26 Finale in Las Vegas.

“They called me yesterday and I think it’s out that he has colitis,” White told MMAjunkie. “So he’s out for a minute.”

St-Pierre made a big return to MMA a month ago after a more than four-year hiatus. He took the 185-pound title with a third-round submission of Michael Bisping at UFC 217. The victory lined him up for a title unification bout with interim champ Robert Whittaker, but now the future is uncertain.

According to emedicinehealth.com, symptoms of colitis may include: abdominal pain, cramping and diarrhea, sometimes with blood in the stool.

White did not offer many details about the severity of St-Pierre’s condition or precisely how long he will be out of action.

Surprised Dana didnt shit on him, again

I wonder if it has to do with the change in his diet while attempting to bulk up?

That would explain the stomach pains and issues he was having. It also may be the end of his career.

He kind of did. In a medical sort of way he is essentially saying gsp is out because he's butthurt. Dana is upping his vocabulary from typical 4 letter insults.

Maybe he was worried if he did GSP would use the colitis as an excuse to shit on him.

GSP is the one doing the shitting if he does indeed have colitis.

Oh, he has ULCERATIVE COLITIS! That's a bigger deal than just colitis. That's a disease process similar to Crohn's Disease.

 

[1031]

is that something someone comes back from and keeps fighting or is that something that forces a person to permanently change their diet?

Basically his career could be over it depends how severe it is and how it’s treated. The fact he went through a fight camp and beat Bisping with a flare up is incredible. There is no cure (surgery aside)for colitis you just have to manage it with diet and medication. There are sportsman that have managed to balance it like multiple time Olympian Steve Redgrave and Footballer/ soccer player Darren Fletcher but like ai said it depends how bad he has it. It also may explain the bloated gut as it can balloon out when it’s sore.

Damn

I hope this doesn't put him out for good.

Spot on. I have Crohn's Disease which is treatable by medication and lifestyle which is the flipcoin of UC which is mostly lifestyle and surgery. Drew McFedries had Crohn's, I believe.

Whittakers polite callout and smile gave GSP the shits

 

[Keung]

Darn, What unfortunate news. Wishing for the best champ.
