Georges St. Pierre should know by Wednesday evening if his showdown with UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes is still on, the Canadian's manager told Sherdog.com Saturday.

St. Pierre pulled his groin on August 3 and has been limited in training for September 23's title fight, a bout marking his second shot at Hughes' belt.

On August 10 St. Pierre's camp notified the UFC about the injury, which a physiotherapist in Montreal had initially told the powerful 170-pounder he'd need four weeks to fully recover from.

St. Pierre has since flown out to Las Vegas, where he helped corner Jonathan Goulet during Thursday's UFC Fight Night, to work with a specialist that has helped Wayne Gretzky and Tiger Woods.

Patry indicated St. Pierre is 95 percent and has continued to work on his cardio and boxing during the down period. The injury has made grappling difficult, which is problematic considering it is Hughes' strength.

The decision on St. Pierre's participation will come after "Rush" pushes himself hard Wednesday evening. Patry said he believes the fight will happen and St. Pierre will return to Montreal on Sept. 25 with the belt around his waist.

In the event that St. Pierre cannot fight, a member of the champion's camp told Sherdog.com, the UFC has started to work on back-up plans, including a rematch between Hughes and B.J. Penn .

From the sounds of it, it's not as serious as the original rumors stated. St. Pierre's manager has said he's "95 percent" healthy, and that St. Pierre will still be able to fight. It also appears that St. Pierre has been training through his injury, and would need only three or four weeks (depending on the time St. Pierre got the medical opinion) to fully recover.

It sounds like he should still be able to fight. If he won't, then it sounds like the UFC would try to forward the title shot to BJ Penn.

Once again fuck that. Just bc he was right doesnt mean he didnt break the rules.

he sounds o.k to me since its george`s manager speaking but it doesn`t help people who are coming down from canada putting penn in there.
lets hope hughes holds off& fights gsp at a later date. if i sound bad and like a scumb#g at least make it a non title defence for hughes since the judges gave the penn/gsp fight to gsp. sherk is there? anybody?

I'll unban him but the rules still stand, if you post a rumor it needs a source. That's why nobody believes Fightsport, because they post uncited rumors.
