Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White shocked the mixed martial arts community when he revealed that Georges St-Pierre would be next in line to challenge Michael Bisping for his UFC Middleweight Championship. In company full of superfights, Bisping almost seems upset and offended that St-Pierre singled him out for a return.
Bisping believes he knows why St-Pierre chose him for his first fight back in the octagon in over three years on UFC Tonight:
“I trained with him 11 years ago and he outwrestled me. Now back then I was a kickboxer from England, I didn’t know a double leg from a double decker bus. But every time we trained he’d take me down. He thinks I’m still that guy. He thinks I’m an easy opponent, an easy pick. He picked me to come out of retirement, moving up a weight class, it’s almost like he has nothing to lose, but if he moves up a weight class, he beats me, he becomes a legend.”
