On November 4, in the main event of the absolutely stacked UFC 217<\/a>, former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre<\/a> will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon. While St-Pierre’s previous dominance occurred at welterweight, however, this is not where his return will occur. Instead, he’ll be stepping up to middleweight to battle reigning champion Michael Bisping.<\/p>\n

As the much smaller man in the Octagon, and a fighter riding a significant layoff, St-Pierre is in for a tough test opposite Bisping. That said, he seems to be taking his training very seriously, and even called on an old foe to help him prepare. That former foe is Jake Shields.<\/p>\n

On Monday afternoon, Shields posted a photo to Instagram, which shows him and St-Pierre together inside Montreal’s world-famous Tristar gym.<\/p>\n
