Canadian superstar Georges St-Pierre returns to the Octagon as he challenges Michael Bisping for the middleweight title. After a career-best year in 2016 in which he sandwiched a pair of victories over superstars Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson around a knockout of Luke Rockhold that earned him the UFC middleweight crown, Michael Bisping will now attempt to add another legend to his resume when he faces St-Pierre. Perhaps the greatest welterweight in UFC history, GSP will make his first Octagon start since 2013, and after nine successful defenses of that title, he will begin a new chapter in his storied career at 185 pounds. Plus, former teammates turned bitter rivals Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw will finally meet in the Octagon. And in UFC 217’s third title fight, the Queen of the strawweight division for nearly three years, Poland’s Joanna Jedrzejczyk, follows up her five successful title defenses over the likes of Claudia Gadelha, Karolina Kowalkiewicz and Jessica Andrade with a battle against The Ultimate Fighter finalist Rose Namajunas.
