The bomb, as tends to be the case these days, was dropped over Twitter. UFC president Dana White tweeted the announcement that welterweight champ Georges Saint-Pierre suffered a knee injury and will have to sit out UFC 137 this coming 29th. “We’ll sit Carlos (Condit) and wait for GSP to recover,” said White.
The Canadian champion stated that he is disappointed and that he went straight from the gym to the doctor. Check out the updated card:
