Freddie Roach: Michael Bisping 'said no' to UFC fight with Georges St-Pierre

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach claims Michael Bisping declined a fight with Georges St-Pierre.

Georges St-Pierre is looking to return to active mixed martial arts competition after a three-year hiatus, and recently expressed interest in a super-fight with Michael Bisping. But according to legendary boxing trainer Freddie Roach, who has been working with St-Pierre recently, the new middleweight champ declined the match up.

"Yeah, I do like that fight, but Bisping said no. I know that that fight's not going to happen," Roach told Fight Hub TV.

St-Pierre's negotiations with UFC brass haven't come to a halt, however, despite the French-Canadian's recent comments on fighter pay.
