Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Michael Bisping said he’s ready to make one of the quickest championship turnarounds in UFC history after he puts his middleweight title up for grabs against Georges St-Pierre later this year. There was a dash of outrage when UFC officials recently announced Bisping’s (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) next 185-pound title defense will come against the returning Georges St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC), and not Yoel Romero (13-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC), who was promised the next title shot following his knockout win over Chris Weidman at UFC 205 in November. Romero is riding a divisional-best eight-fight UFC winning streak that includes victories over the likes of Weidman, Ronaldo Souza and Lyoto Machida. He’s traded endless words – including plenty of insults – with Bisping, and it seemed “The Solider of God” was going to get his shot. But then St-Pierre, one of the biggest stars in MMA history, ended a more than three-year hiatus from the sport and jumped to the front of the line.
