It already feels like too long since fans last saw GSP in the Octagon, even if it was only six months ago now. The consensus welterweight G.O.A.T. returned from four years of pseudo-retirement to take on middleweight champion Michael Bisping, becoming one of just a handful of fighters to win UFC titles in multiple divisions in the process. But, just a month later he dropped the belt, saying he would need time to recover from a recent colitis diagnosis.
That hasn’t kept him out of the headlines, however. His bout with Bisping very decidedly proved that, even after years away from competition, ‘Rush’ is still one of the top draws in MMA.
