Luke Rockhold challenges Michael Bisping to a fight

Tags

It seems like a lot of fighters are interested in fighting with Michael Bisping inside the octagon. Bisping just recently fought against Cung Le in Macau where the Brit finished the match in a fourth round TKO. Among the people who watch the fight live was former Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold. Rockhold made it known at Monday's edition of The MMA Hour about his comments towards Bisping's "best performance of his career" saying that it he was unimpressed.

He said "What, by his pitter-patter? No. Not impressed by Bisping whatsoever, nothing he does. He's the most unflexible MMA fighter I've ever seen in my life. Did you see some of those kicks he threw?"

Bisping used his trademark high-volume attack to swell up both of Le's eyes. But still Rockhold thinks it was not good enough. Bisping and Rockhold had a history when the two middleweights traded barbs on social media for months.

Rockhold saw Bisping and his team when he went down to get coffee saying ""Ironically, I came down to get coffee the next morning (after the fight), and he happened to be right there in my tracks. His dad and his little friend that he had with him were giving me crap all week, just saying, 'Bisping is going to kick your butt after he beats Cung Le,' this and that, they were constantly getting in my face or my ear. So he kind of gave me some weird looks and I couldn't help but acknowledge Bisping."

He continued "I made a bet, and I'm not joking around whatsoever. And I told him that. He wouldn't take my bet. The bet was if I finish him in one round, we switch purses. And if I don't finish him in one round -- one round -- he gets my purse. Show and win, everything. All he has to do is run around for one round. I confronted the man and he wouldn't take it. He started to backtrack and make excuses right off the bat. The man said he got the better of me and beat me up in one sparring session. If he's that confident that he did that, why wouldn't he take a bet? An extra $100,000 on his paycheck couldn't hurt, right? All he's got to do is survive one round."

With this kind of barb lashing at each other, it would be long till both this fighter will be squaring it off inside the octagon.
