Several weeks ago Chris Weidman was forced out of his UFC 199 rematch with Luke Rockhold due to a neck injury. After it was revealed that Jacare Souza had a torn meniscus, and would be unable to fight, the UFC chose Michael Bisping to step in on short notice and fight Rockhold. Despite being injured, Weidman talked trash about Bisping, calling him the easiest opponent in title fight history. That didn’t sit too well with Bisping, who fired back in an interview with MMAFighting:
