Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos PITTSBURGH – Luke Rockhold has been gone long enough that in the meantime, a former welterweight champion has ended his four-year retirement and skipped the line to fight for the middleweight belt Rockhold once held. It was only about 16 months ago that Rockhold lost the 185-pound title to Michael Bisping, who will defend that belt in November against Georges St-Pierre. But 16 months can sometimes be a lifetime in MMA. On Saturday, after an injury delay and trouble getting a fight signed kept him out longer than he wanted, Rockhold (15-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) returns to headline UFC Fight Night 116 against former two-division WSOF champ David Branch (21-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC). UFC Fight Night 116 takes place at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, and it airs on FS1 following an early prelim on UFC Fight Pass.
