MMA-St-Pierre to make UFC return in title fight with Bisping

"We haven't set a date yet, but that's the fight," White said during an appearance on ESPN's SportsCenter. "He has to be tested by (U.S. Anti-Doping Agency) for the next three months.





"There's a lot of things that have to happen for Georges St-Pierre to come back, and then we’ll pick a date."

St-Pierre and Bisping are expected to hold a news conference in Las Vegas on Friday where details could be announced.

One of MMA's most popular and successful fighters, St-Pierre has not fought since late 2013 when he defended his welterweight crown with a split decision win over Johny Hendricks.
