UFC 199's Luke Rockhold: Chris Weidman fights like an 'idiot,' is an easier fight than Michael Bisping

Chris Weidman claims that because he had to withdraw from his championship rematch against Luke Rockhold -- which was set to go down this weekend (Sat., June 4, 2016) at UFC 199 in Los Angles, California -- he gave the Middleweight champion a gift when Michael Bisping was tapped as his replacement.

That's because "All American" strongly believes "The Count" has no shot to defeat Rockhold, calling it the "easiest fight in the history of title fights." Not so, according to Rockhold, declaring on "The MMA Hour" (via MMA Fighting) that it's actually Weidman who would have been the easier foe since he fights sloppy and ugly like "idiot," while Bisping is a bit more tactical.
