A couple of weeks ago, UFC President Dana White threatened to cancel the planned middleweight title fight between Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre. And while no official word has come down on this, the current middleweight champion is starting to think it might not have been an empty threat.

On the most recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, Michael Bisping talked about latest developments in his ongoing saga with St-Pierre. Bisping clarified that he hadn’t spoken with Dana White and that nothing was official yet, but the champ seems to believe that the fight with Georges St-Pierre may actually be off and that an interim title is in the works.

“I know they’re trying to move on from the GSP fight. From my understanding, it looks like the GSP fight isn’t happening. I’ve yet to have a discussion with them about this. From my understanding, Georges still wants to fight me and I still want to fight Georges. So this is what I want to know: I want to know what the problem is. If the UFC have moved on, they got tired of waiting, whatever. But to my understanding, the fight was never gonna really happen in July anyway. I heard that from some sources right at the start. They said, ‘we’re hoping for July 8th but it’s probably not gonna be that.’

The problem, you ducking sob, is that it's a mismatch and an insult to the current contenders.

We've got some tremendous champs & contenders in Moose, Romero, Woodley and Maia, yet we're supposed to leet this freakshow happen? Nope, fight the No.1 contenders, Mike. GSP can go face a top welter.

I will say this, what is annoying is Mike went from I will fight anyone anytime to this shit. What a crappy way to end your career. Winning the belt hurt him more than it helped.

Belts have a way of softening fighters, imho. The hungriest guy is ALWAYS the one on the way up.

Hm.. now I know why Conor doesn't defend and keep chasing.

To stay hungry.
No, more money in it form him to win a belt in the division above. More leverage for him if he does win too.
