Early in 2017, the UFC announced that former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre<\/a> would be returning to the Octagon in 2017 to challenge UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping for the middleweight title. The promotion held a press conference with both men, where the pair exchanged barbs regarding their highly anticipated scrap<\/a>. With that being said however, no information was given in regards to when the fight would take place.<\/p>\n

Michael Bisping then revealed that if St-Pierre was not prepared to fight in July, he would be taking away St-Pierre’s title shot<\/a> and giving it to Yoel Romero:<\/p>\n

\"Yoel<\/p>\n

\u201cSo long story short it looks as if GSP is trying to push for a later date (then July 8). I have heard rumors of that a while ago from Ariel Helwani. I heard that he wanted like September or October and that is what the UFC told me as well. But I am just throwing it out there right now. If he (GSP) wants to wait until September or October, then he can go find himself another opponent.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he\u2019s not ready then I guess Yoel Romero gets his title shot! Listen I am not afraid of Yoel Romero. If GSP wants to fight then of course, there is a great storyline there. The fight would do great business. But I am not willing to sit around and he\u2019s not calling the shots. I am the champ.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While there had been no word from St-Pierre regarding Bisping’s comments, UFC President Dana White revealed in an interview with Aaron Bronsteter<\/a> that he would likely have news regarding the scrap sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m anticipating and anxiously waiting for a day, too. We\u2019re waiting. There\u2019s some things we have to wait for. I\u2019m assuming probably another week I should have a date.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s up to me, it\u2019ll be in Vegas, yes, July 8.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
