Georges St Pierre does not seem willing to return to fight in the category in which he reigned for more than five years. UFC welterweight champion, GSP made his return to the octagon for a duel against the middleweight belt holder, Michael Bisping. However, the Canadian suffered from some injuries, forcing Ultimate to create an interim title at 84 kg. St. Pierre, however, wants to face Bisping and has challenged the Englishman to a duel when Ultimate returns to Madison Square Garden, which should take place in November.

According to the North American website “MMA Fighting”, GSP wrote a text message aimed at both Bisping and Dana White, president of the UFC, who recently said that St. Pierre's return would be at welterweight, against the winner of the duel between Tyron woodley e Demian Maia, for the title, at UFC 214.

“Michael, you should man up and face me on November 4th in New York. I'm leaving my retirement precisely to retire him. Dana White, make this fight happen”, the Canadian reportedly wrote in the message.

For now, the next opponent of Michael Bisping will even emerge from the confrontation between Yoel romero e Robert whittaker, which will take place at UFC 213 next Saturday (8). The winner of this confrontation will be the interim champion and will have to unify the belt against the Englishman, owner of the linear title, in a duel at the end of the year.
