It didn't take long for the UFC to find someone to fight reigning middleweight champion Luke Rockhold on just 2 weeks notice. Following Chris Weidman's withdrawal from UFC 199 due to a neck injury, UFC president Dana White confirmed on ESPN's SportsCenter that Michael Bisping will rematch Rockhold in the main event on Saturday, June 4th at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Bisping (28-7) will finally get the title shot he has sought for years, albeit on short notice. The TUF 3 winner last fought in February, defeating the legendary Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in the UFC London main event.
