Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold are about to fight once again - and they fucking hate each other.
Rockhold put Bisping's lights out when they clashed back in December 2014 - but this time the re-run is for the UFC middleweight title.
The 37-year-old British veteran stepped in at two weeks' notice to face the champ, after Chris Weidman dropped out injured.
If Bisping manages to get the win on June 4 it would make him the first ever Brit to win a UFC belt and put him into the history books.
You only have to hear the animosity between the two to see how much of a powderkeg fight this will be.
"Don't underestimate me pal," Bisping told Rockhold. "All the pressure is on you. I'll be coming in nice and loose, swinging. I'll be hard and fresh and I'll be looking for your chin pal and it only takes one."
Rockhold, who brutalised former champ Chris Weidman to win the belt, simply replied: "You're going to get slaughtered."
He reckons it will be over and done with in half a round, but with Bisping coming off a big win against former champion and UFC legend Anderson Silva, it could be a hell of a lot closer.
