Michael Bisping in to face Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 with Chris Weidman out

You can count on "The Count."

Michael Bisping will step in and face middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in the main event of UFC 199 on June 4 in Los Angeles, UFC president Dana White announced Wednesday on ESPN's SportsCenter. Chris Weidman fell out of the fight Tuesday due to a neck injury.

White said the fight that "makes the most sense" for Rockhold is Ronaldo Souza. But "Jacare" injured his meniscus in a win over Vitor Belfort last Saturday at UFC 198 and will need surgery, according to White.
