Dana White: UFC champ Georges St-Pierre suffering from colitis, will be ‘out for a minute’
Filed under: Featured, News, UFC
LAS VEGAS – 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.
