Filed under: Featured , News , UFC NEW YORK CITY – UFC interim middleweight champ Robert Whittaker favored Michael Bisping to beat Georges St-Pierre in the pay-per-view headliner of Saturday’s UFC 217. But Whittaker (19-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) didn’t count out St-Pierre (26-2 MMA, 20-2 UFC), which turned out to be a good call when the former welterweight champ choked out Bisping (30-8 MMA, 20-8 UFC) at Madison Square Garden. Even with the uncertainty then looming over his future, Whittaker, who recently returned to training after a knee injury, couldn’t get too wrapped up in the outcome of the fight. More important was simply that the winner meet him.
