(Reuters) - Canadian mixed martial artist Georges St-Pierre completed a stunning comeback to the sport at Madison Square Garden, beating Michael Bisping by submission to claim the middleweight title after a four-year absence from the octagon. But Bisping's toughness and superb stamina started to tell in the second as St-Pierre started to slow down, and even when he was taken down to the mat, St-Pierre couldn't manage to keep the 38-year-old there. Instead, Bisping landed a few heavy blows of his own, forcing St-Pierre onto the back foot towards the end of the round. Rather than concede defeat, Bisping lost consciousness before referee John McCarthy stepped in to stop the fight. It's a dream come true guys, thank you for the support," an elated St-Pierre told TV commentator Joe Rogan in the octagon as he thanked the fans.
