A sparring accident earlier today in Montreal is responsible for a knee injury to UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre that has scratched next week’s intended UFC 137 event.
St-Pierre sprawled on a sparring partner’s takedown attempt, trainer Firas Zahabi today told MMAjunkie.com. When the champ circled away, the injury became apparent.
“After he cooled down, I knew he couldn’t fight anymore,” Zahabi said.
