LAS VEGAS – News of the latest big UFC comeback and next middleweight title fight came down this week. Today, you can watch a live video stream of the promotion’s news conference with Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre on MMAjunkie beginning at 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT).
The fan and media event takes place ahead of the ceremonial weigh-ins for UFC 209 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
On Wednesday, UFC President Dana White announced former longtime welterweight champion St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) was returning to the UFC after vacating his title and walking away from the sport in 2013. He’ll return as a middleweight, though, and gets an immediate title shot against current champ Michael Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC). A date and location for the fight has not yet been announced, though White said the bout likely will take place in Las Vegas.
