Michael Bisping Predicts That Alexander Gustafsson Would Beat Luke Rockhold

Rumors have started surfacing saying that former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold and Alexander Gustafsson could fight for the vacant UFC Interim Light Heavyweight Title later this year.

Former UFC Middleweight Champion Michael Bisping has fought Rockhold twice before, suffering a loss to him at UFC Fight Night 55 and then defeating him at UFC 199.

Bisping has previously stated that his next bout could serve as his final Octagon appearance, but there is no word yet on when that fight could happen.
