Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos MONTREAL – Georges St-Pierre is brushing off any concerns that his UFC comeback fight is somewhat lacking in buzz. Earlier this week, UFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed ticket sales for UFC 217, which will see St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) challenge UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) in his first fight in nearly four years, were not going as well as anticipated for the company. UFC President Dana White has said in the past that because of St-Pierre’s long layoff, he would need a reintroduction to followers of the sport who once made him the sport’s most lucrative pay-per-view draw. There have been multiple news conferences, appearances and other considerable promotional efforts behind St-Pierre’s comeback, but the ultimate success of UFC 217 will be determined by the live gate and pay-per-view figures.
