Morning Report: Michael Bisping reacts to Georges St-Pierre’s contractual obligation to defend middleweight title if he wins

On Monday, former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre went on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani and dropped a minor bit of news about his upcoming title shot against middleweight champion Michael Bisping: if he wins the title, St-Pierre is contractually obligated to defend the 185 pound belt instead of going in search of other big money fights.

It was a big revelation, especially considering members of St-Pierre’s own team had mentioned possible fights with Nick Diaz and Conor McGregor as being on St-Pierre’s radar after the Bisping bout.
