The countdown to UFC 199: “Rockhold vs. Bisping 2” is almost complete. In just a few short hours, the mixed martial arts (MMA) action will erupt inside The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., featuring a 185-pound championship rematch between Middleweight kingpin, Luke Rockhold, against Michael Bisping in the pay-per-view (PPV) main event.
UFC 199 fight card: List of tonight’s fighters for Rockhold vs. Bisping 2
Rockhold and Bisping are running it back because former division champion, Chris Weidman, had to withdraw from the show about two weeks ago with an injury, giving “The Count” an opportunity to win a world title after a decade with the organization, as well as avenge his submission loss back in Nov. 2014.
Bisping has vowed to come out guns blazing and leave it all inside the Octagon, which should make for an entertaining match ... for as long as it lasts.
The PPV co-main event features another championship clash between Bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz against arch-enemy Urijah Faber. This is their third -- and likely final -- encounter, with the series tied at one win apiece.
That’s not all.
In addition to the five-fight PPV main card, there is also an eight-fight “Prelims” undercard that will be split between UFC’s online digital network, “Fight Pass,” and its television broadcasting partner, FOX Sports 1.
