Michael Bisping reveals lidocaine injection to relieve injury right before Georges St-Pierre fight

Michael Bisping’s second title defense as UFC middleweight champion was scheduled against Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 in 2017 in New York City. It was the night when he dropped the title to GSP via fourth round stoppage, and the prelude to his imminent retirement.

Now 40 years of age and a fresh inductee into the UFC Hall-of-Fame, “The Count” says he could’ve easily outclassed the former long-time welterweight champion, had he been 100% healthy.

“Well, I know for a fact I could wipe the floor with Georges St-Pierre, so I’d like to do that one again,” Bisping told MMAJunkie during the promotional tour of his autobiography Quitters Never Win.
