It's been confirmed, probably one of the biggest stars ever to grace the UFC will make his return later this year.

Former Welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will make his long awaited return to the Octagon, but he's stepping up in weight class for his return fight.

He'll go toe-to-toe with UFC Middleweight champion Michael Bisping in a clash that is sure to be one of the biggest the organisation has planned for 2017.

He left the organisation in 2013, after winning his ninth successive defense of the welterweight title, which is the most in the history of the division.

He officially signed a multi-fight deal with the UFC only 2 weeks ago, but now his first fight since his return has been officially revealed by the organisation:

Michael Bisping is one of the biggest polarising characters in the UFC at the moment, with his trash-talking always making for intriguing battles.

He won the Middleweight strap at UFC 199, when he defeated Luke Rockhold.

The fight won't be scheduled until later in the year, as GSP needs to re-enter USADA drug testing programmes (as is standard for something like this) before he can enter the Octagon.

This will be an absolutely outstanding battle, between one of the best trash-talkers in the business, and one of the best ever!

For those who haven't seen GSP fight before, you have to watch him. Here's highlights of the time he took on Nick Diaz, the brother of Nate, for the welterweight title in 2013.
