Bring it on.
Dana White has announced an absolute belter of a fight…for the second time.
After Tyron Woodley retained his welterweight crown at UFC 214 people started toying around with the idea that Georges St-Pierre could face the American rather than Michael Bisping.
Bisping had been due to fight the Canadian only for the bout to be cancelled due to ‘GSP’ not being ready to fight at Bisping’s desired date.

However. when asked if a bout between Tyron Woodley and Georges St-Pierre would be happening Dana White dismissed this and instead announced that the British fighterwould eventually get his man.
“I’m absolutely, 100 percent giving that fight to Michael Bisping. I know that Michael Bisping will fight, he’ll show up and he’ll actually fight. I know he will, so Bisping GSP is on.”
Bisping vs. GSP IS ON!
