The last two athletes defeated by Vitor belfort may face each other soon. That's because, this Tuesday (28), the former Strikeforce champion Luke Rockhold go to Twitter respond to criticism made by the British Michael Bisping to his training and challenged him to a reckoning.
“You have no opponent, I have no opponent, you talk sh*t about 'training', I say let's settle the score once and for all,” Rockhold published, also tagging Ultimate president Dana White in the message.

The loudmouth Bisping's response didn't take long. “I tell you to win a fight in the UFC. Then we can talk”, said the Brit, teasing his rival about his debut with defeat in the new organization. Rockhold was not intimidated and accepted the proposal. “If that’s what it takes, I’ll go,” he replied.
The disagreement between the athletes began with a statement by Bisping on North American TV a few weeks ago, in which the Englishman questioned Rockhold's abilities. “I sparred with Luke Rockhold recently and let’s say I’m the unofficial Strikeforce champion,” he said at the time.
