It would appear that Michael Bisping, in fact, does not plan to retire anytime soon.
“The Count” will be welcoming Georges St-Pierre to the middleweight division in the pay-per-view title fight main event of UFC 217. Bisping has previously mentioned that he has been considering retirement after his upcoming title defense. At today’s pre-fight press conference in Toronto, “The Count” revealed that he no longer has plans for retiring from the octagon.
Here is what Bisping had to say:
“Listen, a lot of people were asking me about that (retirement). I love this too much. I love this whole process, getting ready for a training camp. Eight weeks ago, I was out of shape. Now I feel like I’m the champion of the world. I can beat anyone on this planet, especially this guy. I love that whole process. So, no, I won’t be retiring.”
Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre will face off at UFC 217, which goes down Nov. 4 inside the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York and will be available on pay-per-view.
