Georges St-Pierre insists mega-fight with Michael Bisping is NOT off despite Dana White’s threat to cancel
MICHAEL BISPING’S sensational UFC middleweight title fight with Georges St-Pierre is NOT cancelled according to the iconic Canadian challenger.
England’s MMA hero has been growing tired of the delay in naming the date of the fight, with Bisping wanting a July showdown and GSP dithering over signing a deal with UFC.

But MMA legend St-Pierre has insisted the fight is still on and accused White of trying to pressurise him into signing the contract
Speaking to MMA fighting, GSP said: “I want to fight Bisping and I think Bisping wants to fight me.
“I just learned the news. I don’t know what to say.
"It might be an emotional response by Dana or maybe it’s to put pressure on me.

“In this sport, among fighters, when one fighter gets an opportunity, it always leaves more fighters unhappy than happy.
“It’s the nature of a one-man sport. I’ve been there.”
On Wednesday, a clearly seething White appeared to bin the highly publicised bout, just weeks after a huge press conference sparked global interest.
