Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre gets his shot at history this November when he challenges Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight title.
St-Pierre, who announced plans to return to active competition earlier this year, will face Bisping at UFC 217 on November 4 from Madison Square Garden.

With a win, GSP would join Conor McGregor, BJ Penn and Randy Couture as the only fighters in UFC history to hold titles in multiple weight classes. St-Pierre vacated the welterweight title when he announced his retirement following a successful defense vs. Johny Hendricks.
Bisping has defended his title once since knocking out Luke Rockhold, scoring a victory vs. Dan Henderson late last year.
