The former champion of UFC in light-middleweight weight George  Saint-Pierre this week broke off a front crucial ligament of the left knee (ACL) on training. It more than the serious trauma at once gave up as a bad job all hearings about fast return of GSP in октагон.

Now the Canadian is waited by operation and the long period of rehabilitation.

"Just I received confirmation – I broke off a front crucial ligament of the left knee on training this week. In some days I lay down on operation, and after immediately starts the rehabilitation period", - wrote to Saint-Pierre on the page to Facebook.

"All of us meet calls on the course of life, and I know the only way to master them: pain, persistent work, any cutting of corners. I will return soon healthy for 100%. Stay in touch and thanks for your improbable support, as well as always".

Injuries of knees for "Russia" not in a novelty. In 2011th it I stretched a tibial collateral sheaf (MCL) on the same knee because of what I left fight against Nick Diaz on the UFC 137 tournament. In December of the same year  Saint-Pierre broke off a front crucial ligament of the right knee (ACL) that he explained with a giperkopensation.

After operation and the many months period of rehabilitation George triumphally returned on a throne and won three victories in succession, without having left chances to Carlos Kondit and Nick Diaz, and won in a close duel by Split at the present champion Johnie Hendrix.

In December, 2013 Saint-Pierre released a title, having declared that wishes to have a rest from continuous performances. Now, unfortunately, its rest absolutely precisely will be long: restoration after operation on the broken-off front crucial ligament of a knee borrows from 6 months to 1 year.
