UFC legend Georges St-Pierre has teased his massive fight with English middleweight champion Michael Bisping for Madison Square Garden in “a few months”.

Bisping warned GSP that unless he agrees to an early-summer fight, with his preferred September and October dates flat-out refused, he will look elsewhere on the UFC roster.

The British hero, who is recovering from knee surgery, is even open to fighting fearsome Brazilian Yoel Romero if GSP continues to waste his time.
But the two-time welterweight champion has hinted that he is close to agreeing terms for the super fight on a trip to the iconic venue to watch an ice hockey match.

The 35-year-old got a freebie to see the New York Rangers in action and got his Twitter followers hyped up with a suggestive post about his big-fight return.
GSP wrote: “Big thanks @NYRangers for inviting me & Erik Owings @TheGarden for the game tonight! I could be fighting here in a few months... Can’t wait!”

On his most recent podcast, Bisping said: "I heard that he wanted like September or October and that is what the UFC told me as well. But I am just throwing it out there right now.
"If he wants to wait until September or October, then he can go find himself another opponent because I call the shots.

"I am the champion, and I am not willing to sit around until September or October.
"This fight was discussed in January. You know a fight camp only takes eight weeks or six weeks, so fighting in September or October is ridiculous.
"July 8 is the date. I may be a little bit flexible and be willing to go a little past that date if needed."
