St-Pierre signs to fight Bisping at UFC 217

Georges St-Pierre – who last fought in 2013 – will step into the octagon with Michael Bisping in November.

OCTAGON LEGEND Georges St-Pierre’s long-awaited return to the UFC is scheduled for 4 November at Madison Square Garden.

The popular Canadian fighter said he will take on Michael Bisping in a middleweight title bout as the highlight match for UFC 217.

St-Pierre (25-2) last fought in 2013, when he retired as UFC champion.

Bisping (30-7) now owns that belt after he knocked out Luke Rockhold in June 2016.

Individual players get between €300 and €900 per year depending on how far they progress. Your average player will probably get about €400 on this grant scheme. In fairness it takes some commitment to be an Intercounty player.
