Michael Bisping being sued for allegedly choking teenager at a gym

Just over a week away from UFC 217, Michael Bisping has more to worry about than just Georges St-Pierre.

The UFC middleweight champion is being sued by a teenager, who claims Bisping choked him at an Anaheim, Calif., gym in July, MMA Fighting confirmed Wednesday. TMZ was the first to report the story Tuesday night.

Antonio Georgakopoulos, 19, is accusing Bisping of assault, battery and false imprisonment in the alleged incident, which took place at a 24-Hour Fitness gym on July 31, according to the complaint filed Monday in California Superior Court in Orange County and obtained by MMA Fighting.
