Rockhold wants Bisping rubber match at light heavyweight: ‘Let’s make it a little more intriguing’

With his retirement fight looming, former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has shown no interest in potential rematches against Vitor Belfort and Rashad Evans. And while he did consider a potential fight against Lyoto Machida, he is also entertaining a likely rubber match against fellow ex-champion Luke Rockhold.

On Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, Rockhold revealed that this third fight is already “in discussion”. However, he plans to change things up a bit, this time around.

“Let’s make it a little more intriguing. Let’s bring it to 205,” Rockhold said (via MMA Fighting).
