UFC welterweight champion appears to be making a full recovery since suffering an eye injury in his title bout against Jake Shields at UFC 129.
The champion complained about having blurred vision in between rounds during his bout, and although St-Pierre picked up the victory via unanimous decision, the injury affected his performance.
Since retaining his title, St-Pierre has kept a low profile and hasn’t conducted any interviews regarding his injury, but the French-Canadian seems to be in good spirits as he updated his fans on the status of his eye via Twitter.
“My medical condition is called Hyphema. My vision is still blurry and my eye sensitive but the blood in my eye has now been absorbed,” St-Pierre tweeted earlier today.
“My retina is [find] as well and my vision will come back to 100%!!! Can’t be more happy!!”
According to a medical website WebMD, a Hyphema is caused when there is bleeding in front of the eye between the cornea and iris.
As a result, St-Pierre will recuperate for the next week before he can resume training.
