NEW YORK — So much has changed in the UFC in the last four years. The one thing that hasn’t is that Georges St-Pierre is a world champion.
Well, there is one difference: The long-time welterweight kingpin returned after a nearly four-year break and choked out Michael Bisping on Saturday in the main event of UFC 217 at Madison Square Garden to claim the middleweight title.
St-Pierre walked away from the sport in 2013 after defeating Johny Hendricks via a controversial decision
in Las Vegas. He took more punishment than he was used to, the pressure
he felt was about to make his head explode and he felt most of those he
fought were cheating.
On
Saturday, though, it was a replay to his heyday, though he was just a
bit bigger and a lot more muscular. He survived several hard Bisping
right hands, but finished him after cracking Bisping with a counter
left.
