Filed under: News , UFC , Videos TORONTO – Despite previously saying otherwise, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping now says he won’t be hanging up his gloves after his UFC 217 showdown with Georges St-Pierre . Not long after his title defense against St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) was made official for UFC 217, Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) said there was a good chance he would walk away from the sport regardless of whether he defended or lost his title. Bisping, 38, has been part of the UFC roster since 2006 and has made a record-tying 27 octagon appearances. He has more than five hours of cage time over his tenure with the promotion, and though it would be understandable if he decided he’s had enough, “The Count” said at today’s UFC 217 news conference in Toronto that retirement is no longer on the table. “Listen, a lot of people were asking me about (retirement),” Bisping said.
