Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos PITTSBURGH – Luke Rockhold is looking to jump back into the title mix after a successful return from a 15-month layoff in the UFC Fight Night 116 main event. In his first fight since losing the UFC middleweight title to Michael Bisping at UFC 199 in June 2016, Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) forced David Branch (21-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) to tap out to strikes in the second round of their bout , which took place at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and aired on FS1. Rockhold made some strong post-fight statements in the octagon specifically directed at the upcoming 185-pound title fight between Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC) and Georges St-Pierre (25-2 MMA, 19-2 UFC) on Nov. 4 at UFC 217. Rockhold believes St-Pierre has no chance of claiming the belt, and for that reason he thinks it’s a pointless matchup.
