Former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre is set to return to UFC after more than three years away from the octagon. On Wednesday, after weeks of speculation, UFC president Dana White revealed St-Pierre's opponent.
On SportsCenter, White announced that St-Pierre will fight middleweight champion Michael Bisping for the title in his return. This positions St-Pierre to potentially win his second UFC belt, which would make him the fourth fighter in UFC history to win a championship in two weight classes.
One of the rumored opponents was Conor McGregor. That would have required a drop to 155 pounds for St-Pierre, who spent his career at 170 pounds.
