Four Fights For Michael Bisping To Take Next

Well, UFC 199, which went down last night live on pay-per-view (PPV) from The Forum in Inglewood, California, provided the mixed martial arts (MMA) community with one of the craziest nights in recent memory. Multiple story lines prevailed, but perhaps none more memorable than the one that emerged from the main event. 25 Octagon fights

Multiple story lines prevailed, but perhaps none more memorable than the one that emerged from the main event.

25 Octagon fights and a decade into his storied UFC career, Michael “The Count” Bisping has finally reached the pinnacle.

Accepting a bout with Luke Rockhold on just over two weeks’ notice, many had Bisping was a huge +600 underdog heading into the night.

After all, Rockhold did dismantle the British veteran in November 2014, and Bisping came into that bout with a full camp.

However, as we are so often reminded, the fight game is unpredictable.

Bisping came out firing in the first round, putting Rockhold away with strikes early on to become the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.

What a rollercoaster ride it has been for “The Count”, and now at age 37, he’s finally on top.

Let’s take a look at four potential fights for Bisping to take next:

Urijah Faber Won’t Stop Defending His Multiple Title Shots

Long-time mixed martial arts veteran Urijah Faber will step into the Octagon in the co-main event of UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California in hopes of closing the door on a rivalry nearly ten years in the making. “The California Kid” will face off with bitter rival Dominick Cruz for a third time

“The California Kid” will face off with bitter rival Dominick Cruz for a third time tomorrow night (June 4, 2016) with Cruz’s bantamweight title hanging in the balance.

This will be Faber’s fourth attempt at capturing UFC gold, although he’s come up short each time out – something that has garnered Faber his fair share of criticism.

In response to the question regarding why he’s received so many title shots, however, Faber offered a clear and simple answer:

“The title shot thing, I’m a title fighter. That’s it,” Faber told FOX Sports.

“Have I had a lot of title shots? Sure. Two of those title shots were again (Renan) Barao because Dominick got injured both times,” Faber explained. “One of those times it was supposed to be me and Dominick and Barao had to step in and it was a lackluster performance on my part. Barao did enough to win.

“The second one, Cruz got injured with two and a half weeks to go until the fight, I injured myself three days into that training camp and I still (expletive) fought.”

While Faber is obviously focused on the 135-pound title, he also added that fans simply want to see him in big fights which is another factor that has contributed to the level of fights he’s been booked in:

“People want to see me fight TJ (Dillashaw). People want to see me fight Conor (McGregor). People want to see me fight Frankie Edgar. People don’t want to see me fight guys that aren’t top level,” Faber said. “I’ll do that because we’re in the fight game and you fight whoever they put in front of you, but my goal is to always fight the best.

“That’s the mentality. That’s what’s got me here.”

Do you see Faber finally securing the title tomorrow night?

Michael Bisping: ‘Liar’ Luke Rockhold Has A Bit Of A Vagina

Bitter rivals Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping will face off in a rematch for Rockhold’s 185-pound title in the main event of this Saturday’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Originally, Rockhold was slated to rematch ex-champion Chris Weidman, but Weidman was forced to withdraw from the bout with an

Originally, Rockhold was slated to rematch ex-champion Chris Weidman, but Weidman was forced to withdraw from the bout with an injury, leading the UFC to call on Bisping to accept the bout on short notice, although “The Count” wasn’t actually the top choice.

In fact, the UFC was hoping that top contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, a man Rockhold previously beat in a Strikeforce bout in 2011, would accept the bout, but the Brazilian was set to undergo a knee surgery.

According to Bisping, however, Rockhold turned down a fight with “Jacare”:

“Luke says that he’s on a different level than everybody else and he’s by far the best fighter and he can destroy anybody and this, that and the other,” Bisping said at the UFC 199 pre-fight press conference. “Well, if that is the case, then it turns out he’s a liar, because the guy has a bit of a vagina inside him because he turned down Ronaldo ‘Jacare,’ whatever his name is. He turned the fight down. I didn’t turn this fight down.”

Rockhold laughed it off, saying that he hand-picked Bisping because the British veteran will bring the fight and bring attention to the bout as opposed to “Jacare”.

Bisping once again re-iterated his claim later on, once again blasting the champion:

“Luke didn’t want the Jacare fight,” Bisping said. “He chose me. He ‘chose.’ That’s a real good way of saying he turned it down. ‘I chose you.’ So you didn’t choose ‘Jacare.’ I thought you were the big dog. I thought you were the big, swinging dick, man. You were the best in the world, buddy.”

Rockhold then fired back, reminding Bisping about the outcome of their first bout:

“I fucking knocked you out and I choked you out and you still have the audacity to run your mouth,” Rockhold said. “That is the most amazing thing about you, Bisping. I know you can’t see straight, but you obviously can’t think straight, either.”

The two men certainly brought it to the press conference today, and there’s no reason to believe that they won’t bring it on fight night.

Who do you see coming out on top?

Hector Lombard Planning ‘Beautiful’ Victory Over ‘Fu**witt’ Dan Henderson

Cuban slugger Hector “Showeather” Lombard will be making his return to 185-pounds on the main card of this weekend’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Lombard will be taking on former Olympian and mixed martial arts legend Dan “Hendo” Henderson, and apparently there is some bad blood between the two

Cuban slugger Hector “Showeather” Lombard will be making his return to 185-pounds on the main card of this weekend’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California.

Lombard will be taking on former Olympian and mixed martial arts legend Dan “Hendo” Henderson, and apparently there is some bad blood between the two – or at least from Lombard’s side – as the former Bellator champion blasted Henderson on a recent edition of Submission Radio:

“Dan Henderson is just fake. Fake guy, comes across like a nice guy when he’s not. You know if one day I have, let’s suppose that I have a Hector Lombard training camp or Hector Lombard facility, and some young guy [comes in to train], because trust me, even at ATT a bunch of guys came from Australia and I introduced myself. Like, ‘Hey man, how are you doing?’ Even guys from New Zealand like JJ and a bunch of others and young kids, I introduce myself, I tell them, ‘Whatever you need, just give me a call.’ I exchange numbers, you know, we talk quite a bit, we go, we do some training together. It’s not a big deal, ey? This fuckwitt is kind of like ‘Oh, I’m more than you.’ So he doesn’t care for me and I don’t care for him either.”

Lombard hasn’t technically won a fight since March 2014, and is coming off of a brutal stoppage loss at the hands of Neil Magny at UFC Fight Night 85 last March.

“Showeather”, however, is predicting a ‘beautiful’ victory over Henderson, as he feels as if his body won’t fail him as he claims it did last time out:

“I see myself beating him in a beautiful fashion. I’m gonna be fast, I’m gonna explosive. I don’t believe that my body is gonna be so tired and my body’s gonna give up on me in this fight, cause I only have to cut 15, 20 pounds. So that’s easy for me. I don’t believe that my body is going to give up on me again. So yeah. I’ll tell you, when my body’s functioning properly, I will be there like a pistol. You will see.”

Many have labeled Lombard as a risky test for the ageing veteran in “Hendo”, who has lost three of his last four bouts, and is coming off of a devastating knockout loss to Vitor Belfort last November.

Despite his recent skid, however, Henderson and his legendary right hand can never be counted out of a fight.

Who do you see taking this one home?
