One of the greatest MMA fighters returns to the octagon four years after his last fight in the main event of UFC 217. Georges St-Pierre will challenge Michael Bisping for the UFC middleweight championship Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.

If the betting odds are any indication, the title fight is too close to call. St-Pierre is the slightest of favorites, via Bovada.lv, though the bout is essentially a toss-up. Bisping will fight for the first time since he successfully defended the belt against Dan Henderson on Oct. 8, 2016 at UFC 204.

The championship fights beyond the bout between Bisping and St-Pierre make this one of the biggest events in UFC history. UFC president Dana White said Thursday that the event will provide MSG with its third-largest gate in the building’s existence. UFC 205, which saw Conor McGregor win the UFC lightweight championship a year ago, stands at No.1.

Cody Garbrandt will defend his UFC bantamweight championship for the first time when he faces T.J. Dillashaw Saturday night. Garbrandt is the only male UFC champion that has no losses on his resume.

Joanna Jedrzejczyk has never lost a fight as a pro, and that’s expected to remain the same when she puts her strawweight title on the line against Rose Namajunas. Jedrzejczyk’s last four title defenses have all gone the distance.

UFC 217 starts on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. EDT, and fans can buy it for $69.99. The preliminary card begins at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox Sports 1.
