Georges St-Pierre is back and gunning for Michael Bisping's middleweight title. UFC president Dana White announced the fight (but not the date) earlier today on SportsCenter and thus far the reactions are powerful but divided: some love it and some hate it. As you'd expect, Yoel Romero is not the biggest fan. Surprisingly, Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza is okay with it. The bookies are definitely loving it ... and Georges St-Pierre as the winner and future 185 pound champion.
Let's take a look at what everyone else is saying about this massive fight.

WME has a lot of interest to pay off on their purchase... https://t.co/Uxxj0WhIml

When it's someone like GSP, think it's only going to bring more eyes to the MW division. https://t.co/NQDhqLKOMY

The current MW division in the UFC is the best weight class of all time. So many former champs, legends, olympians & all Americans! WOW

And if he beats GSP, he will be the second greatest UFC 185-pound champ ever. Ladies and gentlemen, your middleweight division! https://t.co/4XWQ4KkGqE

GSP-Bisping is not a sport killer. The issue is a) what it reveals about WME's priorities & b) what events/practices it gives birth to.

Bisping smart for taking the big payday fight but if GSP wins no way he's brave enough to fight Yoel! https://t.co/BMGLI4UBNS

Gsp never lost 170 Title...say he takes 185 belt...you know conor is gonna want a shot at calling himself a 4 division champ by beating gsp
— Robert Joyner (@robnashville) March 1, 2017
GSP wanted to compete at 185 he should've done so in the Silva era. Middleweight is full of killers now. Weidman, Rockhold, Romero, Jacare..

Michael Bisping vs. Georges St-Pierre will mark the most combined UFC victories in a single matchup in UFC history (39).
— Mike Bohn (@MikeBohnMMA) March 1, 2017
I think GSP can beat Bisping. However I think @YoelRomeroMMA or @JacareMMA would maul him.
