Two California-based fighters with clashing personalities saw an already heated rivalry inflame over disputes about what happened in previous encounters.
That may sound like a hyper-specific situation, but it works to describe both of the matchups at the top of UFC 199 Saturday in Los Angeles at the Forum.
Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold (15-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) tries to beat Michael Bisping (28-7 MMA, 18-7 UFC) for the second time in two years for his first title defense in the pay-per-view's main event. In the co-main event, bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz (21-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) completes a trilogy against Urijah Faber (33-8 MMA, 9-4 UFC) four years after it was originally scheduled.
