Georges St-Pierre is officially back.

The former UFC welterweight champion, considered by many to be one of the top fighters in the history of mixed martial arts, will step into the cage for this first time since his self-imposed hiatus from the sport against Michael Bisping later this year with the middleweight title that the Brit seized from Luke Rockhold last year on the line.

The two fighters came face to face in Las Vegas on Friday, the first time that GSP has been engaged in an official UFC media conference since announcing his return and in Michael Bisping the Canadian superstar found a foe more than eager to engage him with verbal barbs throughout the 30 minutes or so in which they shared the stage.
