You’d be well within your rights to presume there’s no love lost between former UFC middleweight champions [autotag]Michael Bisping[/autotag] and [autotag]Luke Rockhold[/autotag].
We’re coming up on five years since Bisping pulled off a stunner with a short-notice knockout of Rockhold to win the 185-pound title at UFC 199. That win avenged a submission loss to Rockhold for Bisping, but it also set off plenty of bad blood between the two.
