Firas Zahabi Thinks GSP Will Be Out ‘At Least a Year or Two’ Before Returning to Fight

If Firas Zahabi is correct, Georges St. Pierre could be due for another lengthy layoff.

While the Tristar Gym coach expects St. Pierre to eventually compete in the UFC again, it won’t necessarily be soon. Citing health issues due to colitis, St. Pierre vacated the middleweight title he won with a third-round submission of Michael Bisping at UFC 217. Prior to that, “Rush” hadn’t fought since defending his welterweight crown against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013.

“I have no idea [how long he’ll be out].” Zahabi told Fight Hub TV.
