The social media back-and-forth between a pair of ex-middleweight champions continues, but is it a build toward an actual trilogy fight booking? Michael Bisping (30-9 MMA, 20-9 UFC) is looking for an opponent for his retirement fight, a fight he initially had hoped would be this week at UFC Fight Night 127 in London. He and Luke Rockhold (16-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) have fought twice before – Bisping took Rockhold’s title in the latter’s first attempted defense in 2016 – and clearly have no love lost. They continued jaw-jacking through Twitter in the past 24 hours, and Rockhold implied a contract was on the table for Bisping to agree to, which Bisping denied.
