UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping is at it again.

Bisping is scheduled to defend his middleweight title against former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre at the upcoming UFC 217 PPV (pay-per-view) event.

The fight got delayed and then supposedly canceled, people moved on from the incident. Now it’s back on, and with the next presser looming, Bisping seems intent on making this one just as controversial.

Earlier this week, Bisping recounted the press conference tale from earlier this year and made a bold accusation against GSP. Bisping believes that St-Pierre was dragging his feet so as to avoid getting caught for steroid usage.

While promoting the fight, Bisping appeared on Conan O’Brien show last Wednesday night and took back all the accusations he made about the former UFC champion taking steroids. This has led to speculation that he didn’t want to get sued for making those accusations.

Fight fans don’t worry, Bisping isn’t going to stop talking trash. Instead of him going after what GSP possibly taking PEDs, he directed his shots against the title contender and his growth to make weight for the upcoming fight. GSP is moving up from 170 pounds to 185.

“He’s coming up a weight class, from welterweight to middleweight,” Bisping told Team Coco (transcript courtesy of MMA Mania). “So I was saying he was doing lots of weights to get bigger. Realistically, I think he’s trying to grow the size of his balls.”

UFC 217 is set to take place on Saturday, November 4th in New York at Madison Square Garden. The main card will air on pay-per-view while the preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

Cody Garbrandt vs. T.J. Dillashaw for the UFC bantamweight title is expected to serve as the co-main event. The UFC has added another title fight to the UFC 217 card as Joanna Jedrzejczyk will defend the women’s strawweight title against Rose Namajunas.

GSP The Latest Fighter To Sound Off On Michael Bisping

In recent days, multiple fighters, including former champion Luke Rockhold and welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal, have taken shots at UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping.

In recent days, multiple fighters, including former champion Luke Rockhold and welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal, have taken shots at UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping.

Now, Georges St. Pierre, the actual fighter who will challenge Bisping for the 185-pound title on Nov. 4 at UFC 217 in New York, has joined in on the bashing of “The Count”.

In a recent interview with SI Now, “Rush” labeled Bisping as an ‘angry’ person who has ‘a lot of holes’ in his game:

“He’s projecting his own image,” St. Pierre said. “For him, he wants to prove that he’s more than an easy fight and he’s got a negative view of himself. He’s got a lot of holes that he cannot fill up. He’s a very angry person deep down inside, and angry fighters make a lot of mistakes.”

St. Pierre, widely considered to be the very best welterweight of all-time, hasn’t competed since scoring a highly controversial decision victory over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in 2013. After the bout, the Canadian star vacated his title and announced that he would be stepping away from the sport due to personal issues.

Ahead of his return, St. Pierre said that he’s ‘happy’ to be in the situation that he’s in and he’s ready to ‘put in everything’ he’s got:

“We’re not desperate. I’m happy,” said St-Pierre. “I feel very blessed and fortunate to be in this position and it’s a moment that a few people in the world are able to live. And I’m going to live that unique moment and I will remember it for the rest of my life.

“But at the same time I need to put myself in the mindset that this unique moment, in order to make it in my favor as best as I can, I need to put in everything I got.”

“Rush”, although highly accomplished at 170 pounds, has never competed at middleweight and he’ll face a stiff test in the tough and durable Bisping.

“The Count” shocked the world in June 2016, knocking out Rockhold to become the middleweight champion. He then defended the title against Dan Henderson late last year, but he hasn’t fought since.

Who are you expecting to come out on top when these two legends meet at Madison Square Garden?

Michael Bisping Tells Georges St. Pierre To Not ‘Get Caught’ Using Steroids

After months and months of speculation, middleweight champion Michael Bisping and returning former welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre are finally set to meet in the main event of UFC 217, which is set to take place on Nov. 4, 2017 from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.

After months and months of speculation, middleweight champion Michael Bisping and returning former welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre are finally set to meet in the main event of UFC 217, which is set to take place on Nov. 4, 2017 from the famed Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The bout was briefly announced last March when the UFC held a press conference that featured the two fighters, although a date nor a venue was revealed. UFC President Dana White had repeatedly said that the ‘ship had sailed’ on the fight, but we are now less than two months away from it.

As expected, Bisping has ramped up his trash talk ahead of the fight, and in a recent video posted to his official Instagram account, “The Count” can be seen filming St. Pierre after a media event, while reminding “Rush” to ‘take steroids’:

Bye George

It’s unclear whether or not Bisping was accusing St. Pierre or if he was just playing mind games, but it was an obvious attempt to get under the skin of the Canadian star.

St. Pierre, who hasn’t competed since scoring a highly controversial split-decision victory over Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in 2013, has long been an advocate for stricter drug testing. Performance-enhancing-drug use in MMA was one reason St. Pierre left the sport, and it took a complete revamping of the UFC’s drug testing program for him to even consider a return.

What do you make of Bisping’s comments and who do you expect to come out on top in November?

Georges St. Pierre Vows To ‘Be More Angry On The Finish’ In Return Bout

Georges St. Pierre hasn’t competed since 2013, but during the height of his legendary welterweight title reign, he was nothing short of dominant, although it wasn’t too often that he finished a fight.

Now, “Rush” is set to make his highly anticipated return to action in the main event of UFC 217 on Nov. 4, 2017 against middleweight champion Michael Bisping. The bout will take place in New York City at Madison Square Garden, and the Canadian recently said that he’ll be looking for the finish:

“I’ve trained a lot of things,” St-Pierre told MMAFighting.com. “I’m gonna be more there to hurt guys and to go for the finish. To submit, to break. To go for the break. To go for the knockout or go for the break if i have a submission. Until he taps. I’m gonna be more opportunistic.”

“I made my training to be more opportunistic,” GSP said, “to be more angry on the finish.”

St. Pierre also admitted that he may have been a bit more cautious towards the tail-end of his run atop the UFC’s 170-pound division:

“They were accepting the defeat,” St-Pierre said of previous opponents. “They knew they were going to lose before the end of the fight. They were fighting to not get beat up too much instead of fighting to win.

“On my side, I was fighting to win, but it’s hard. You know that if you’re exposing yourself [to] useless openings, [you can] get beat up.”

Bisping, however, isn’t an easy man to finish, and “Rush” is well aware of that:

“I made my training to be more opportunistic,” GSP said, “to be more angry on the finish.”

Chris Weidman: I Can’t Take Michael Bisping Seriously

UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has received quite a bit of criticism from his fellow 185 pounders.

Since winning the title with a shocking knockout of Luke Rockhold in June 2016, Bisping has only defended it once, scoring a decision win over Dan Henderson, who was ranked outside of the top 10 at the time, last October.

Now, “The Count” will take on another fighter ranked outside of the top 10. In fact, he’ll take on a fighter who has never competed at middleweight, as he’s set to meet former longtime welterweight king Georges St. Pierre at UFC 217 on Nov. 4 in New York City.

One middleweight contender who has gone back-and-forth with Bisping in the media is Chris Weidman, and the ex-champion recently discussed the rivalry, while adding in the fact that he simply can’t take the Brit seriously:

“I’m sure it will be,” Weidman told Submission Radio when asked if running into the champion would be ‘weird.’ “I don’t care. I really can’t get mad at anything Bisping says and I can’t take him seriously. I mean, listen, if the guy comes in my face and he’s screaming, we’re probably gonna end up fighting. But I don’t think – if he really wants to do that type of thing, he’s looking for a fight, I mean, if he comes in my face and creates a problem, there’s going to be a problem, but I’m not looking for a problem with the guy. I don’t really care.”

As far as Bisping’s fight with St. Pierre goes, Weidman, like many other middleweights, feels as if it’s a fight that is holding up the division:

“It’s a crazy thing. I feel this whole thing is probably going to hold up the division for a long time if it works out that way. The way it looks like right now and the possibilities of how long it could take before opportunities for the guys to fight for the belt, it looks a little crazy right now. So hopefully things change a little bit and hopefully they will, cause I know Whittaker’s injured pretty long, I know he has a bad knee surgery, so I don’t know when he’s going to be back.

“And then you got GSP and Bisping. I mean, GSP hasn’t fought in four years and he’s been out for a while, so who knows until when he’d be ready if he was to win to fight again. And then you have Bisping, who also really hasn’t fought too much since he’s had the belt, you know? So I don’t know when even they would fight Whittaker, and then the winner of that, when are you actually gonna fight them, barring injury or not. So it’s a weird weight class right now, so I really don’t know. This whole thing is out of my control, so I just gotta sit back and worry about myself and see what happens.”
