"Dana, please, organizes this fight", he reportedly wrote to the current champion of the middleweights in the UFC.

"Rush" repeatedly teased a return over the next four years, but that potential was seemingly realized when the French-Canadian superstar unveiled his intention to come back and face middleweight champion Michael Bisping at a weight class he had never fought at before.

St-Pierre would have also sent the message to the president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), Dana White, to ask him to arrange the duel.

A press conference, where Bisping played the flawless part of a drunken heel to St-Pierre's usual clean-cut superhero fan favorite, was set up and given to fans days prior to March's UFC 209. If St-Pierre didn't, then Bisping said he was going to fight the victor of Yoel Romero - Robert Whittaker next. However, Bisping said on The MMA Hour on Monday he would rather fight St-Georges instead of Romero or Whittaker. Because on Saturday, I'm going to be on the FS1 post fight show and one of those two, tune in, Whittaker or Romero will be joining me at the desk, so you know that will have fireworks. "Me and Michael will get this done". He hasn't fought since beating Johny Hendricks at UFC 167 in 2013. He had no business being there and it was really just log-jamming the division. And if there was ever an interim title fight, how is this one not worthy?

"If I can't say I'm fighting GSP by then, then I have to say I'm going to fight Whittaker or Romero".
