(UPDATED on 9/21/17 at 12:30 p.m. ET to clarify Bisping’s quotes.) Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold had some things to say about current champ Michael Bisping . So, to the surprise of presumably no one, Bisping had some things to say right back. Rockhold had barely cooled off from his recent UFC Fight Night 116 win over David Branch when he directed some words at former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre , urging him to step away from a UFC 217 title fight with Bisping. It was clear, however, who the real target behind the unconventional request was: middleweight champ Bisping (via Twitter ): Luke Rockhold calls out GSP, says he's “coming for that belt” #UFCPittsburgh https://t.co/LM5JNo7bhA — FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) September 17, 2017 Speaking to “ UFC Tonight ” on Wednesday, Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) was more explicit in his talks of reclaiming the belt that Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) took from him in June 2016. That came with some serious shade over Bisping and his title reign – which Rockhold called “the worst in UFC history.” Later that night, however, “ TUF Talk ” gave Bisping a brief window to respond.
