The long-lasting feud between Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping came to a head at UFC Fight Night 55 when the two middleweight contenders collided at Allphones Arena in Sydney.
Rockhold (13-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) may not have got the first-round finish of Bisping (25-7 MMA, 15-7 UFC) he predicted for so long, but he still earned the sweet taste of victory with a second-round submission.
The rivalry was sparked several years ago when Bisping made a comment about getting the better of Rockhold in a sparring session. The former Strikeforce champion didn’t take kindly to Bisping’s decision to air training details in public, but in the end Rockhold got his revenge as he defeated “The Count” for his third consecutive UFC victory.
While Rockhold and Bisping went to battle in the highly anticipated contest, there were fans, fighters, media members and other figures from the MMA community following along on social media. Check below for the top Twitter reactions from the UFC Fight Night 55 headliner.
