Filed under: News , UFC , Videos There were several options on the table for Georges St-Pierre ’s comeback fight, according to UFC President Dana White. A matchup with lightweight champion Conor McGregor apparently was not one of them. White today announced that the former longtime welterweight champion St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) would make his return to the octagon after a more than three-year layoff to challenge UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) later this year. St-Pierre’s comeback was made official last month  when the UFC announced it had inked the Canadian superstar to a new contract, marking the end of a hiatus from competition that began when he vacated the 170-pound belt following a title defense against Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in November 2013
