11 May Dana White – Bisping v GSP OFF
Dana White has delivered bombshell news to The middleweight division. The much vaunted fight between champion Michael Bisping and the return of superstar Georges St-Pierre is OFF.
It seems White is not happy to wait until October/November which is the date GSP has said he will be ready to fight.
“I made this GSP fight, we did a press conference. The thing was supposed to happen in July. Michael Bisping is going to have to defend his title now. We’re not waiting for GSP,” White told FOX Sports Australia’s UFC Fight Week.
“(Yoel) doesn’t need to voice his opinion on why he needs a title shot. He definitely deserves a title shot. He’s next in line, he’s the No.1 ranked guy in the world.
“Georges St-Pierre was coming back. Bisping-St-Pierre – they both wanted that fight. We asked Yoel to step aside, he did. It doesn’t look like that fight is gonna happen now.
“Georges St-Pierre is saying he will not be ready to compete now until November. Who knows if that’s even the case. It could be next year.
“So we’re not waiting for Georges St-Pierre anymore. We’re moving on with the division, and Yoel Romero will get the next shot.”
The middleweight division had been on stand by recently after GSP jumped the queue to claim a title shot against Bisping.
With this being probably the most stacked division with contenders do you agree with Whites decision?
I am with Dana on this one the division is too stacked to wait on GSP, move on. Go Yoel!!
Watch your tongue
Good. Was weird enough as it was, and that was when it was meant to be in July. It’s messing up the division for too long.

Haha! Judge the winner on the best pedicures ?
Yeh I thought that, although they might just hug each other instead of fighting!
Jamie Devlin
Good fight…next week will be interesting
Hahah enjoy ??
Just on the prep work before the fights
I’m taking it you’ve seen last nights?!
Mate ridiculous ??
Yeh… the quality of the fighters has been poor. Who has pedicures before fighting?!
Yeah true…have you been watching TUF Redemption?
Suppose Romero deserves it, although he’s a cheat so I take that back haha
Maybe Dana White was right all along about GSP.
He does not really want to fight…and I predict he re-retires….
Everyone would prefer gsp to have the woodley fight anyways at his actual weight… everyone wants to see bisping Romero too ?
Stupid Canadian prick swear he made out that he was ready to fight ages ago
Yer it is he aint ready til oct / now and bisping said he wernt waiting that long ages ago, said hed rather fight yoel
Fuck sake bet it’s GSP’s fault
Samuel Jervis
Not willing to wait until October for the fight and move the division forward and Romero will fight now in July v Bisping

I’d like to see him do it but it’s a a scary first 5 min for bisping ha
Martin Howie
Romero v Bisping will be a better fight anyway …you know they are both going for a knock out . Be a war til one goes to sleep . Fuck GSP he been out too long …Bisping would walk through him anyway
Fuck how things should be,
Next we will be finding out ferguson is getting a shot a mcgreggors title,

What about bisping knee injury which he has stated many times isn’t healing as quick as he’d like. He even said the later date suits him better aswell. This is yet again a personal thing between dana and a fighter that has stood his ground against him.
Romero will smash him!
Meant to tell you this before I left lol x
Stephen William Dumma Colin Liddle I said GSP was a tool!!!
It’s unfortunate I would have loved to see the GSP fight but atleast he should be ready for welterweight if left till November. Bisping has a number of hard fights in front of whoever but the big cheat Romero should be first
