A lot of people have pointed out that Bisping is clearly avoiding fighting meaningful contenders at MW -- seemingly ready to fight GSP in July (before GSP said he needed more time), but then becoming miraculously injured when other challengers were mentioned.
Rockhold has said he'll be ready to step in and face Bisping on Nov. 4th, even urging GSP to withdraw from 'his fight'. Given GSP's age, injury history (3 ACL surgeries), and long layoff, it's entirely possible that he might not make to UFC 217. GSP is just weeks into an intense training camp... lots of time to get injured.
So I ask: Do you guys think Bisping would face Rockhold as a short-notice replacement if GSP pulls out?
Sadly, I think Bisping might actually duck any replacement and just refuse to fight...
