Canadian mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre successfully defended his welterweight title in both bouts he contested in 2013, but will end the year without the gold around his waist for the first time since 2007. Lucas Leiva Jersey . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. While the victory over Diaz was standard issue dominance from St-Pierre, his Nov. 16 bout at UFC 167 against Hendricks was hotly contested and had a controversial finish. Despite the fact that most people covering the fight scored the victory for the challenger and post-fight metrics, as well as St-Pierres face showed Hendricks was more effective, two of the three judges scoring the bout gave the advantage to the champion allowing him to leave with a split decision victory. UFC president Dana White was irate after the fight even calling for the Nevada Governor to launch an investigation into the Nevada State Athletic Commission. It was clear something was also wrong with St-Pierre when after the fight he said that he needed to step away from the UFC, causing speculation that he was going to announce his retirement. Finally on Dec. 13, St-Pierre announced that due to personal issues which he did not reveal, he would be taking an extended break from the UFC as well as vacating the welterweight title he has proudly defended since 2008. "Im going to take a break. I need this," said St-Pierre. "I need to have a normal life for a bit. Ill feel better and come back stronger." Whether this is the end of St-Pierres career or just a bump in the road, he will easily find his way into the UFC Hall of Fame and go down as one of the greatest to ever step into the Octagon.

Coach Mike McCoy and general manager Tom Telesco both said Monday that the team doesnt know the severity of the injury or the time frame for recovery for the 33-year-old pass rusher. Freeney was hurt in the second quarter of San Diegos 30-21 victory against Dallas on Sunday. After being tended to for several minutes, he walked off the field without help. McCoy said the team and Freeney are exploring their options. Freeney could be placed on injured reserve designated, which would allow him to return later in the season. "Hes talking to some people, were talking to people and just really kind of figuring out what is the best way to go," McCoy said. "That is a possibility. Well just wait and see in the next couple of days, the severity of it exactly, what our plan is going forward."

If the injury is more significant, he could be lost for the season. After starring for Indianapolis for 11 seasons, Freeney was released in the off-season after his production dropped for the third straight season. He sat on the free agent market for more than two months before the Chargers signed him in late May, days after Melvin Ingram tore up his left knee in an off-season workout. Freeney was Indianapolis career sacks leader with 107 1/2. He had one-half sack with the Chargers and provided a strong presence off the edge. "Anytime you lose a great player like Dwight Freeney, its a blow to your team," McCoy said. "Thats offence, defence, special teams, in your league. When you lose one of the greatest players of all time on your team, with an injury like that, in a game, thats tough. I give a lot of guys credit for stepping up."
