UFC 199 goes down in sunny California tomorrow (Saturday June 4, 2016) and the fight weekend starts right here, tonight, with the live weigh-ins. The Los Angeles-based pay-per-view card is full to the brim with exciting fights, many fuelled by long burning rivalries. The main event for the evening features a do-over between current UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and long time contender Michael Bisping.

Long before their first fight in Sydney in 2015, Bisping and Rockhold were beefing, ‘Rocky’ got the win last night, but ‘The Count’ has been on form since. A match, although made by injury to Chris Weidman, will be well worth watching. The co-main event has an equally fun beef in the background, as Urijah Faber challenges for Dominick Cruz’s bantamweight belt in their rubber match.

Bisping 1

The main card is still stacked with some awesome fights, Max Holloway vs. Ricardo Lamas, Dan Henderson vs. Hector Lombard and Green vs. Poirier. This will be a night to remember.

After suffering an unfortunate injury during training camp, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw from his highly anticipated rematch between Luke Rockhold at UFC 199.

According to Dana White via Sports Center, Weidman will be replaced by the No.4-Ranked Michael Bisping:

Bisping (28-7) is coming off of the biggest win of his career that saw him taking home a unanimous decision victory over Anderson Silva in his hometown of London, England.

‘The Count’ and Rockhold have met once before back in November in 2014 at UFC Fight Night 55, that saw Rockhold taking home a second round submission victory via guillotine choke.

Bisping immediately campaigned for the title shot on Twitter shortly after Weidman’s injury was announced:

Rockhold also took to social media himself moments after Bisping was named his new opponent:

This will be Bisping’s first title shot in his twelve year career, since winning The Ultimate Fighter 3 (TUF 3) nearly a decade ago.

Before Bisping was named the late replacement many predicted that Rockhold’s opponent would be the No. 2-Ranked Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza, who is coming off of a first round thrashing of Brazilian legend Vitor Belfort at UFC 198 this past Saturday.

‘Jacare’, however, was unable to take the fight due to a torn meniscus that he suffered during this past weekend’s bout, and will require surgery.

Another possibility for Rockhold was No. 10-Ranked Uriah Hall, who was pulled from UFC 198 after his opponent Anderson Silva suffered an unfortunate gall bladder injury and was unable to compete.

Hall took to Twitter to voice his opinion on being passed up:

UFC 199 is set to go down on Saturday June 4th at The Forum Arena in Inglewood, California. The card is to be co-headlined by a bantamweight title bout between longtime rivals Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber.
