UFC 199: Rockhold vs. Weidman 2 fight card shaping up

UFC 199 is just over 2 months away, and there are a pair of championship rematches topping this PPV in Southern California. Luke Rockhold ended Chris Weidman's undefeated record and reign as middleweight champion with a TKO win at UFC 194, but an immediate rematch has been booked atop the June 4th card at The Forum in Inglewood. Rockhold didn't want to fight at 199, knowing that UFC 200 would be a huge show, but guess what happened anyway?

In the co-main event, Dominick Cruz defends his bantamweight title against bitter rival Urijah Faber. This rubber match has seen Faber beat Cruz at 145 in the WEC in 2007, Cruz beat Faber at 135 in the UFC 2011, and now we'll see these two men battle it out (presumably) one last time.
