UFC middleweight Michael Bisping announced today on FOX Sports 1 that he will face off against rival Luke Rockhold on November 8 at the UFC Fight Night 55 event in Sydney, Australia.
The event will take place at the Allphones Arena and will air on the UFC Fight Pass subscription service.
Bisping (25-6) got back on the winning side of things with a fourth round TKO win over Cung Le in his last outing. Bisping has alternated wins and losses in his last five bouts, and a win over Rockhold would certainly put him back into contender’s status.
Rockhold (12-2) is coming off a first round submission win over Tim Boetsch in his last outing and has won back-to-back fights since being knocked out by Vitor Belfort in May 2013.
The other fights on the card so far are below:
- Anthony Perosh vs. Guto Inocente
- Daniel Omielańczuk vs. Soa Palelei
