Michael Bisping Tells Weidman He Must Beat Rockhold If He Wants Title Shot

In addition to making it clear that he doesn’t intend to fight Luke Rockhold in an immediate rematch in his first title defense as UFC Middleweight Champion, Michael Bisping also doesn’t seem overly interested in a fight with former champion Chris Weidman, either.

Weidman recently contacted “The Count” on social media, asking him if he was going to be a man of his word and fight him now that he is champion.

Bisping, however, appears to have different ideas in mind.

You can check out the Weidman-Bisping social media exchange below.

Bisping became UFC Middleweight Champion by knocking out Rockhold in the first round of their UFC 199 main event fight at The Forum in Inglewood, California on June 4, 2016.
