Today the UFC held a press conference to promote next month’s UFC 199 which is headlined by a middleweight title fight between Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold.
Bisping has a past getting into a verbal war of words with his opponent and Rockhold is not shy about yelling back. Today the two got into it pretty good and Rockhold promised that this would be the ‘end’ of Bisping:
“Going out there to shut Mike’s mouth, to shut all these guys mouths. All these guys have made excuses. Mike, Chris Weidman, Jacare, well guess what? I beat them all and I’m going to beat them all again, one at a time. They’re all going to get theirs,” Rockhold said.
“Mike’s a tough dude. He’s got balls. He took this fight but this will not be his fairytale. This will be his swan song. This will be the end of him.”
Rockhold doubled down on his comments when he directed another vitriolic prediction at 10-year UFC veteran Bisping, saying that he wouldn’t just beat him at UFC 199 — he was going to humiliate him.
“You will not be a champion. I will humiliate you next week. Mark my words — humiliation,” Rockhold said. “It’s going to be so one-sided, it’s going to be something special.”
