Dana White has revealed that Georges St-Pierre will challenge middleweight champion Michael Bisping for the middleweight title.

The UFC legend has resolved his contract issues with the promotion and will face the UK’s first ever champion in a massive return clash.

Bisping was in line to face Yoel Romero in his second defence as middleweight king, but it seems as though that fight has been shelved in favour of what is sure to be a massive pay-per-view draw bout.

It's on!

No.1 challenger Romero will now __have to wait for his chance to fight for the title as White told ESPN Sports Centre that a press conference will be held on Friday to confirm the news.

White revealed a date had yet to be set for the mega-fight, but said the clash would happen in the second half of 2017.

GSP has not fought since late November 2013, but has been offered an immediate chance to regain his champion status.
