“He wanted to take a break. He wanted to take some time off from the sport. He’s been taking about coming back for a couple of years,” White said. “I personally wasn’t a believer, but he and I got together in Las Vegas. We had dinner and we got a deal done.”
Bisping will enter the matchup on the strength of five consecutive victories in the Octagon. He claimed middleweight gold with a shocking first-round knockout of Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 and defended the crown with a five-round decision win against Dan Henderson at UFC 204 this past October. “The Count” was expected to make his second defense against top contender Yoel Romero, but it appears those plans will be put on hold for now.
“Everybody wants to take a shot at Michael Bisping. They think he’s beatable,” White said. “And obviously Georges St. Pierre is no different. He’s gonna step up and try to take his 185-pound title.”
