UFC 199: Rockhold vs Bisping 2
Last night, the Official Weigh-ins of the fighters who are part of the event took place, as UFC 199: Rockhold vs Bisping 2 is being celebrated tonight. Through the company's official YouTube channel, we bring you the official video with all the weigh-ins and the subsequent face-offs.
All the fighters are eager for their fights to start, but during yesterday's face-offs, we saw some that may have even more desire, mainly because of the sparks that fly when they're in front of their rival.
We're talking about face-offs like Dustin Poirier vs Bobby Green. Since this fight was confirmed to be part of the Main Card, we saw that both have a lot of desire for each other and don't hesitate for a moment to show it when they're face to face.
However, as expected, where the most sparks flew were in the face-offs of the two main fights of the show.
The current UFC Middleweight World Champion Luke Rockhold and contender Michael Bisping keep showing every time they meet that they can't stand each other. Yesterday was no different, and the British fighter even lightly hit his opponent in the skull.
The current UFC Bantamweight World Champion Dominick Cruz really wants to face contender Urijah Faber, so much that during yesterday's face-off after their weigh-ins, he couldn't stop saying things to him, while his opponent remained silent and listened. It will be the third time they face each other, with one victory for each in the previous fights, and it could be the best fight in the division of the year.
It's also worth mentioning other face-offs like Brian Ortega and Clay Guida. The latter entered the weigh-ins with two bananas and when his opponent arrived, he offered him one. The undefeated fighter, far from being offended, picked it up and ate it, to the smile of Guida.
Something similar happened with the face-off between Max Holloway and Ricardo Lamas. Without any bananas involved, both showed respect and camaraderie whenever they faced each other. After a handshake, they stood face to face for the photo and prepared for the fight.
