Freddie Roach would prefer Georges St-Pierre move back to welterweight after beating Michael Bisping

Georges St-Pierre did the improbable Saturday night. He came back from four years away, moved up 15 pounds in weight and defeated Michael Bisping to win the UFC middleweight title. At UFC 217 in New York, “GSP”, a longtime former welterweight champion, became just the fourth UFC fighter to hold titles in two different weight classes. It cemented him on the short list of best fighters of all time, if not made him the consensus greatest ever.

His future, though, remains uncertain. The UFC wants him to unify the middleweight title with interim champion Robert Whittaker next.
