GSP knocked up a woman in Canada and she wants to keep the baby ... and the issue has been driving GSP crazy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GSP's father is also sick ... and it's derailed him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, GSP made it official ... saying he's stepping away from the sport indefinitely ... saying, \"I need to have a normal life for a bit.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said, \"I believe one day I will come back ... I can't put myself through another training camp right now. I don't want to make anybody wait.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for GSP's belt, the UFC announced Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler will fight for the title at UFC 171 in March."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
