Michael Bisping has the biggest fight of his entire career coming up in 2 weeks, but has still been busy on the set of “xXx: The Return Of The Xander Cage.” With getting just two and a half weeks notice that he would be getting the first title shot of his near 10 year UFC career, time and preparation is not entirely in favor of “The Count.”

The MMA world was rather stunned when Michael Bisping revealed that his upcoming short notice fight against Luke Rockhold would actually be a trilogy fight, and not a rematch as many believed. When Chris Weidman withdrew from UFC 199 earlier this week due to a neck injury, fans anxiously waited to find out whether Michael Bisping or Jacare Souza would be given the nod to fight for the middleweight championship on short notice.

Michael “The Count” Bisping will get his first UFC title shot just shy of the 10 year anniversary of his UFC debut. Going into his 26th UFC fight, Bisping will fight middleweight champion Luke Rockhold for the title on June 4 at UFC 199. Bisping steps in on two and a half weeks notice after Rockhold’s originally scheduled opponent, Chris Weidman, was forced to pull out of the fight due to an injury.

While Yoel Romero may currently be serving a 6 month suspension for failing a drug test after testing positive for steroids, the top ranked UFC middleweight didn’t shy away from taking a shot at UFC veteran Michael Bisping on Twitter Wednesday afternoon. Bisping, who is coming off a unanimous decision win over Anderson Silva at ‘UFC FN: London’, responded to a fan on Twitter who questioned the naturalness of Romero’s physique.

Since Michael Bisping defeated Anderson Silva in the main event of ‘UFC London’ back in February, there has been much speculation as to where Bisping falls in the UFC middleweight title picture. While Yoel Romero became the #1 contender at middleweight after defeating Jacare Souza at UFC 194, a failed drug test has landed Romero a 6 month suspension. The way Bisping sees is, he has earned the right to fight the winner of UFC 199’s Rockhold vs. Weidman rematch.

After Yoel Romero’s controversial split decision win over Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza at UFC 194 in December, the Cuban Olympian failed an out-of-competition drug test. While failing a drug test is normally a 12-month suspension, Romero and USADA managed to reach a settlement agreement after he blamed the testing failure on a tainted supplement that he was taking.

Ultimately, all 3 judges scored the bout in Bisping’s favor, giving him the unanimous decision win. With that being said, many, including UFC President Dana White, believed that the bout should have been scored in Silva’s favor. This lead Silva’s camp to reveal that they plan to try and get the loss overturned.

At the end of the 3rd round, actually the final second of the 3rd round, Anderson Silva jumped off the canvas and hit Michael Bisping in the face with a flying knee.  Down goes Bisping, Silva jumps up on the cage to celebrate his 3rd round  KO.  Unfortunately referee Herb Dean did not call an end to the fight and Silva had to be taken off the top of the cage and convinced the fight was still on. Bisping makes it thru the next 2 rounds and, as most of you know now, wins an unanimous-decision victory.
