The trash talk between Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre has taken an odd turn. With the fighters set to headline one of the most highly anticipated UFC cards of the year, both competitors have been promoting their match up in their pre-fight press conferences. During the conferences, Bisping and St-Pierre have met face to face to often funny and heated reactions.
During a recent pre-fight press conference, “The Count” referred to St-Pierre as a “lizard.” The odd remark has since gained some attention from fans and Bisping does not appear to backing off from the trash talk. Rather, “The Count” is doubling down.
Lizard ???

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is set to welcome Georges St-Pierre back into the octagon in the pay-per-view main event for UFC 217. The former UFC welterweight champion has not been inside the octagon for nearly four years, as “Rush” retired after his tough decision win over Johny Hendricks. Now St-Pierre is returning to the UFC for a title fight in a new division.
UFC 217 goes down Nov. 4 inside the Madison Square Garden Arena in New York.
