GSP vacates UFC middleweight title

Georges St-Pierre’s reign as UFC middleweight champion is officially finished after just a shade over one month.

In a statement released on Thursday night, St-Pierre confirmed that he’s relinquished his title, citing health reasons.

St-Pierre defeated Michael Bisping in the UFC 217 main event to become the 185-pound champion in his first fight at the weight class. This news comes a day after GSP indicated that he wasn’t sure he’d compete at middleweight again.

St-Pierre also recently announced that he was dealing with ulcerative colitis, something that Dana White had said would keep the Canadian sidelined indefinitely.

GSP is the first fighter in UFC history to vacate two championship belts ... having stepped away from the sport in 2013 after a controversial split decision over Johny Hendricks in a welterweight championship clash.

Robert Whittaker has been promoted to undisputed UFC middleweight champion.

He will defend the title vs. Luke Rockhold at UFC 221

St-Pierre's welterweight title reign ... 2,064 days (2nd longest in UFC history)

St-Pierre's middleweight title reign ... 31 days (shortest in UFC history)

UFC 221

Luke Rockhold -105

Robert Whittaker -125
