On a conference call ahead of UFC 199, UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold promised to swiftly finish Michael Bisping in the main event of their bout.

Bisping replaced Chris Weidman, who bowed out due to injury, and agreed to face Rockhold for the title on two weeks notice.

This will be the first time Rockhold defends his belt since taking the strap from Weidman at UFC 194 in Las Vegas.

Bisping, a perennial contender, will finally compete for a title in Los Angeles, CA, on June 4th. Rockhold submitted Bisping in their first meeting at UFC Fight Night 55 in Nov. 2014.
