When Michael Bisping won the UFC middleweight title last summer, it was a feel-good story fit for Disney, but in a top heavy division filled with a backlog of viable title challengers, the former Ultimate Fighter winner was expected to lose his belt in his first title defense. But thanks to some fortunate circumstances, Bisping has instead avoided all of the top contenders in his weight class, instead having a revenge fight with Dan Henderson and now being set to face former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre in his return to the octagon after a four-year retirement. After his fight with St-Pierre, Bisping is supposed to face interim title holder Robert Whittaker in a unification bout but the middleweight champion seems set on continuing the controversial theme of his title reign.
