“Finally signing my UFC 217 Bout Agreement vs. Michael Bisping for Nov. 4th at MSG – Get ready for a big night in NYC!!!” St-Pierre wrote on Instagram.
After being away from the sport for almost four years, St-Pierre is returning and moving up to the middleweight division to fight UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping.
St-Pierre’s return to the UFC will headline UFC 217 on Nov. 4. This will be the UFC’s second event to take place at the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City.
