Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is gearing up for its next pay-per-view (PPV) offering, UFC 217: “Bisping vs. St-Pierre,” which takes place inside historic Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sat., Nov. 4, 2017.
That means another round of UFC “Embedded” video blogs.
The main event features a middleweight title fight between reigning division champion Michael Bisping and former welterweight kingpin Georges St-Pierre. It will be the French-Canadian’s first fight in over four years, while the previously injured “Count” looks to (finally) defend his title for the second time by knocking off another former titleholder.
In the co-main event, Cody Garbrandt will defend his bantamweight belt against former training partner T.J. Dillashaw, while Joanna Jedrzejczyk puts her women’s strawweight strap on the line against Rose Namajunas.
