Canada’s Georges St-Pierre returns to fight Britain’s Michael Bisping in UFC

Longtime UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre will return to the octagon against current middleweight champion Michael Bisping.

UFC president Dana White, on when and where the fight will take place. Also, outside of Anderson Silva or a pointless rematch with Nick Diaz, almost any other opponent for St. Pierre would louse up a division’s championship situation.

A date for the super-fight has yet to be announced, but’s understood the contest will go down in the third quarter.

The answer is, he’s not.

Georges St-Pierre (on top) lands some ground-and-pound on Carlos Condit during their Welterweight title bout at UFC 154 at the Bell Centre. You have a truly hated Champion like Michael Bisping going up against one of the most loved fighters of all time in Georges St-Pierre.

“I can’t wait to f***ing square off against you. Guys are talking about money fights and I’m like, ‘You’re not a money fight'”.

“I deserve this payday”. He thinks I’m an easy opponent, an easy pick. “So therefore I’m the greatest welterweight of all time if he doesn’t want to fight”.

He is a 3rd dan black belt in Kyokushin kaikan, holds a 1st-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is a black belt in Gaidojutsu and is also a black belt in Shidokan. “Just like Anderson [Silva] did”.

St-Pierre: “That’s all you have on me, that’s all he has”.

Bisping checks all of those boxes, and another one too. “I’m gonna hurt him real, real bad”. “I have a general idea, a general long term goal and a general direction. So I kind of put that fight out of my mind and I started thinking about the next contenders in the UFC”, Bisping recounted. “Personally, I was not a believer, but he and I got together in Las Vegas, had dinner and got a deal done”. “When do you want to fight?”

“I’m going to make some adjustments, of course, try to gain on some weight”, St-Pierre said.

“When is the fight Georges?” He’s had one of the best careers, if not the best career in the history of the sport.

Whichever camp you fall into, there’s no denying that it’ll rake in some pretty big pay-per-view numbers, especially considering how big St-Pierre was before he left.

PM: You’ve done everything in the sport, but Bisping is a bigger man, how does the size factor into how this fight goes? He’s bound and determined to do so.

Postmedia: So Georges, welcome back. The English veteran won the title in an upset of Luke Rockhold past year, and he defended it by beating Dan Henderson. I respect you very much.
