Georges St-Pierre will get a shot at UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping
The dull showing by welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in defeating Demian Maia at the Honda Center prompted UFC President Dana White to alter his plans for popular former longtime welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, moving him back to a date against middleweight champion Michael Bisping. "It was a productive meeting … GSP is looking forward to returning to the UFC against Bisping," Khan said. "I know Michael Bisping will fight."Earlier in the week, White said Woodley would get St-Pierre if he defeated Maia, which he did by scores of 50-45, 49-46, 49-46, while successfully defending against all of Maia's takedown attempts. St-Pierre agent Nick Khan, who met with White last week, said his fighter will take on Bisping on Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden during UFC 217 or Dec. 30 at T-Mobile Arena during UFC 219. Following a back-and-forth during fight week with former UFC heavyweight champion and current WWE performer Brock Lesnar, Jones followed his third-round technical knockout of Cormier by calling out Lesnar.This content may collect you by Max Nolan
