It appears as though another UFC Hall of Famer could possibly be following Georges St-Pierre and return to competition.

Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping recently revealed on his YouTube channel that St-Pierre asked him to join him on the upcoming grappling event on December 14. He mentioned that he wouldn't be grappling against the former welterweight king, but the two would be helping each other prepare.

The Hall of Famers fought in the main event of UFC 217, which took place at Madison Square Garden in 2017. In what ended up being the Canadian's final bout, he submitted the former TUF winner via rear-naked choke in the fourth round to become the new middleweight champion after a four-year layoff.

Bisping hasn't agreed to the proposal yet, but noted that he is taking it under consideration. 'GSP' has already expressed interest in competing against other well-known UFC stars. Since announcing his return to competition, he has named fighters such as the Diaz brothers, Kamaru Usman, and Colby Covington as potential opponents for his grappling match.

With that in mind, 'The Count' could likely do the same in order to maximize the level of interest among MMA fans to tune in to the event. If he does commit to the event, he could possibly grapple against a current or former fighter like Glover Teixeira recently did.

It will be interesting to see whether Michael Bisping takes Georges St-Pierre up on his offer and who the UFC will match both Hall of Famers up with in their foray into grappling.
