Michael Bisping says he has verbally agreed to fight at UFC 206
Earlier this week Chris Taylor of BJPENN.com reported that current UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping was being targeted to fight at December’s UFC 206 pay-per-view event in Toronto.
I spoke to one of Michael Bisping's coaches who told me that

As I reported yesterday, Michael Bisping is definitely in play for #UFC206 in Toronto.

While Bisping initially denied the report, it appears that “The Count” is indeed willing to fight at the December 10 event as he recently took to Twitter with the following:
@GeorgesStPierre, we all want more money. But let's go,sign the papers.Give the people of Toronto what they want, be a hero! Let's go champ!

“The Count” went on to say the he has verbally agreed to a fight with St-Pierre but is awaiting on “GSP” to “sign the papers”.

Michael Bisping was last seen in action at UFC 204 in Manchester where he earned a tough decision victory over a very game Dan Henderson.
Prior to his victory over “Hendo”, Bisping had scored a first-round knockout victory over Luke Rochold at June’s UFC 199 event in Los Angeles, which earned “The Count” the UFC’s coveted middleweight title.
