He was sparring today and he hurt his knee, Zahabi confirmed to Sherdog.com. I had a feeling it was bad, but then, once he cooled down, he started limping. There’s no way he would be able to fight.

St. Pierre’s injury occurred during a shoot boxing session, which mainly consists of standup sparring but also incorporates takedowns.
