UFC star Georges St-Pierre is currently dealing with a "minor" eye injury, and says that is the reason his return to the Octagon has been delayed.
Speaking to Justin Kingsley at the C2 Montreal conference Friday, St-Pierre (25-2) said he suffered the injury before the UFC announced he would fight middleweight champion Michael Bisping back in March.
According to St-Pierre, the UFC was aware of his injury and time-frame for recovery but still asked him to fight in July. He has refused to do so.
"If it were up to me, I would come back," St-Pierre told Kingsley, according to MMAFighting.
