GSP vacates UFC middleweight title

[New York Knight]

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.
