Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping open to UFC 199 title bout

[Wild]

Following Chris Wediman's removal from UFC 199, Michael Bisping calls out Luke Rockhold on social media.

A title shot may come earlier than expected for Michael Bisping.

Yesterday, it was announced that Chris Weidman had been forced to withdraw from his rematch with Luke Rockhold at UFC 199 due to injury, leaving the UFC in desperate need of a replacement.

Enter Bisping.

'The Count', who put on the performance of his career against Anderson Silva at UFC London in February, immediately called out Rockhold on Twitter.

@UFCONFOX @LukeRockhold @ufc I do, the people do, I think Luke, not so much.

It didn't take long for the middleweight champion to respond, opting to shut Bisping up in a rematch.

@bisping @UFCONFOX @ufc Bisping few things I enjoy…​

I feel sorry for Bisping. Worst time to get a title shot is on a short notice. And its not like he's in his prime anymore.
