The details of the injury, including its severity, have not yet been released. The UFC, however, is looking for a replacement to face Rockhold in his first title defense, and one of them has already offered himself publicly: Michael Bisping.
Coming from victory over Anderson SilvaIn February, the Englishman wrote on Twitter: “Training periods are what separate men from boys. This sport is not for everyone. Fight on two weeks' notice? I’m in,” wrote Bisping, who was already defeated by Rockhold, in November 2014.
Rockhold won the middleweight belt in December 2015, defeating Weidman by technical knockout. UFC 199 will have another title fight: Dominick Cruz face Urijah faber to defend the bantamweight title.
