The aftermath of the Michael Bisping vs. Cung Le bout reveals "The Count" emerging victorious with his opponent badly bloodied up. The brash Brit also responded to previous verbal tirades thrown at him by fellow middleweight contender Luke Rockhold.
The Michael Bisping vs. Cung Le bout was held at the Cotai Arena in Macau China this past weekend for UFC Fight Night 48. In a report by MMA Fighting, "The Count" was able to dominate using versatile strikes that staggered Cung Le, leaving the latter a bloody mess.
The British fighter emerged victorious via a fourth round TKO victory and garnered a "Performance of the Night" bonus during the Michael Bisping vs. Cung Le bout. He now holds a record of 25-6, with 19 of those victories ending via stoppage.
Meanwhile, fellow middleweight contender and former Strikeforce champion Luke Rockhold has begun a feud with Michael Bisping. Two days prior to UFC Fight Night 48, Rockhold began throwing a slew of insults towards "The Count's" way, while issuing a challenge soon after.
"I've got a wager," Rockhold said in an interview with MMA Junkie. "Bisping is grossly overpaid, comparably to where we are. So, I bet Michael Bisping, if I don't finish you in the first round, you can have my purse. But if I do finish you in the first round, you give me your purse.
"So if I don't finish you in the first round, whether I beat you in a decision or what, you get both of our purses. But if I do finish you in the first round, we switch purses, and I get yours," he continued.
Michael Bisping, who is usually more outspoken towards his adversaries, did not let himself be outdone, and accepted the challenge.
"There's an idiot called Luke Rockhold who doesn't stop talking about me," Bisping said during the post-fight interview with Kenny Florian. "I think he has the hots for me, to be honest. Luke Rockhold, you're calling me out. If you want to do it, let's dance. Here I am."
"I'm going to beat Luke Rockhold and then I'm taking the title," he added. "Make no mistake."
