The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the Big Apple on Saturday, for UFC 217 at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York City. The pay-per-view, one of the most stacked of 2017, is headlined by a championship triple-header.
In the main event, middleweight champion Michael Bisping prepares to put his title on the line against one of the best to ever step inside of the Octagon, former welterweight king Georges St-Pierre. St-Pierre has been out of action for nearly four years, with his last outing coming on Nov. 16, 2013. In that fight, St-Pierre retained his welterweight title with a controversial split-decision victory over Johny Hendricks. GSP is moving up a weight class for the bout.
Rivals Cody Garbrandt and TJ Dillashaw will battle it out in the co-main event, with “No Love” putting his belt up for grabs against his former Team Alpha Male training partner. There is plenty of bad blood and the added intensity leads to what promises to be a thrilling fight.
The third and final championship bout of the night comes in the women’s strawweight division.
115-pound champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk will be taking on top contender Rose Namajunas, who fell short in his first championship opportunity against Carla Esparza in Dec. 2014. Jedrzejczyk later claimed the belt from Esparza and has had a stranglehold on the championship since. If Jedrzejczyk comes away victorious on Saturday, she will tie Ronda Rousey’s record of most consecutive title defenses in a women’s division.
Below is all of the information you will need leading up to the fight, including every episode of UFC 217 Embedded and the Inside the Octagon preview.
