Michael Bisping: ‘Liar’ Luke Rockhold Has A Bit Of A Vagina
Bitter rivals Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping will face off in a rematch for Rockhold’s 185-pound title in the main event of this Saturday’s (June 4, 2016) UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California.
Originally, Rockhold was slated to rematch ex-champion Chris Weidman, but Weidman was forced to withdraw from the bout with an injury, leading the UFC to call on Bisping to accept the bout on short notice, although “The Count” wasn’t actually the top choice.
In fact, the UFC was hoping that top contender Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, a man Rockhold previously beat in a Strikeforce bout in 2011, would accept the bout, but the Brazilian was set to undergo a knee surgery.
According to Bisping, however, Rockhold turned down a fight with “Jacare”:
“Luke says that he’s on a different level than everybody else and he’s by far the best fighter and he can destroy anybody and this, that and the other,” Bisping said at the UFC 199 pre-fight press conference. “Well, if that is the case, then it turns out he’s a liar, because the guy has a bit of a vagina inside him because he turned down Ronaldo ‘Jacare,’ whatever his name is. He turned the fight down. I didn’t turn this fight down.”
Rockhold laughed it off, saying that he hand-picked Bisping because the British veteran will bring the fight and bring attention to the bout as opposed to “Jacare”.
Bisping once again re-iterated his claim later on, once again blasting the champion:
“Luke didn’t want the Jacare fight,” Bisping said. “He chose me. He ‘chose.’ That’s a real good way of saying he turned it down. ‘I chose you.’ So you didn’t choose ‘Jacare.’ I thought you were the big dog. I thought you were the big, swinging dick, man. You were the best in the world, buddy.”
Rockhold then fired back, reminding Bisping about the outcome of their first bout:
“I fucking knocked you out and I choked you out and you still have the audacity to run your mouth,” Rockhold said. “That is the most amazing thing about you, Bisping. I know you can’t see straight, but you obviously can’t think straight, either.”
The two men certainly brought it to the press conference today, and there’s no reason to believe that they won’t bring it on fight night.
Who do you see coming out on top?
