UFC 199: Michael Bisping steps in to face Luke Rockhold

Michael Bisping's win over Anderson Silva came in front of a raucous home crowd at London's O2

Michael Bisping has a chance to become the UK's first UFC champion after stepping in to fight Luke Rockhold.

Bisping's opportunity comes after Chris Weidman was forced out of UFC 199 on 4 June in Los Angeles with a neck injury.

Manchester middleweight Bisping's last fight was a unanimous-decision win over Anderson Silva in London in February.

However, the 37-year-old lost to Rockhold in their only previous meeting, submitting in the second round of their November 2014 fight.
