Bisping: I have no problem knocking Rockhold out again
Michael Bisping: “I quite literally took his soul, so if he wants me to do it again, that is one that would stoke the fires so to speak.”
Former middleweight champion Michael Bisping is mulling over what gentleman to bleed with one final time. Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida, who are likewise near the close of extraordinary careers, were mentioned early. However, on the latest Believe You Me podcast, ‘The Count’ once again demonstrated his extraordinary gameness, by considering a fighter not at the end of his ability, but at the peak of it – a trilogy fight vs. Luke Rockhold.
If that motherf***er wants to throw down at 205, yeah, we can entertain that, buddy, said Bisping, as transcribed by Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. I’ve got no problem knocking you out again.
I exposed Luke Rockhold. I knocked him out. David Branch nearly knocked him out. Yoel knocked him out. I quite literally took his soul, so if he wants me to do it again, that is one that would stoke the fires so to speak.
I’ll fight him at 205, I’ll fight him at 185. I’m not bothered. That’s if I’m gonna fight again, if the deal is right. Fortunately now, I’m in a good place.
Bisping also indicated it ain’t over til it’s over, and it might not be over even after his next fight.
I still love fighting. Fighting’s what I do, that’s provided me this platform and I still feel like I’ve got at least one more in me,” he said. “I’ve got more than that in me but I’m just saying from my business perspective maybe one more makes sense, maybe two more, maybe no more. We’ll see what the future holds if the deal is right.
