Despite initial in-cage reports by Georges St. Pierre himself that he had torn a muscle in his groin – an injury that could have shelved the UFC’s welterweight champion for a significant period – more official evaluations of the injury suffered earlier this month at UFC 100 have revealed a less severe conclusion.
According to a statement issued late Saturday night by St. Pierre’s manager, Shari Spencer, no surgery will be required to repair the injury.
“Evaluation of the results of an MRI indicate that no surgery will be required, and Georges should be back in the gym training within a few weeks after a brief rehabilitation,” Spencer stated.
