UFC Fight Night 55 plays host to a top-10 middleweight matchup.
No. 5-ranked contender Luke Rockhold (12-2) takes on No. 9-ranked Michael Bisping (25-6) to see who can take the next step up in the division. Both men are not too far out from a title shot in the murky waters of 185 pounds.
Bisping has gone 3-3 in his previous six bouts. He has exchanged wins and losses, but he remains one of the top middleweights in the world. He has been through a lot of battles during his MMA career that could begin to take its toll on the talented Brit.
Rockhold has won his last two outings inside the Octagon. A win over Bisping would give him a decent case to be made a title contender. The former Strikeforce middleweight king will need to make an impression if he wants to put his name among the elite.
This will be sure to be an exciting battle with a high output of offense. Without further ado, let’s break down the UFC Fight Night 55 main event.
