Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping is clearly a match both men want. Both fighters are at a stalemate with Rockhold holding a victory over Bisping at UFC Fight Night in 2014 and Bisping owning a victory with a KO at UFC 199 in June 2016.
Rockhold took a shot at Bisping, seemingly saying that he is the one that’s preventing the fight from happening. On Tuesday, he tweeted to Bisping, writing “sign the contract or shut it.” Attached to the text was a photo of Rockhold’s submission victory over Bisping from 2014.
Bisping being Bisping, he didn’t let things slide. He responded with a gif of his first-round knockout of Rockhold — whom he called a “dipshit” — from UFC 199.
“But remember when I knocked you out cold, took your belt and you cried like a little bitch?” Bisping wrote. “In fact that’s probably a little hazy for you. See attached and have a great day numb nuts.”
Rockhold said last week on The MMA Hour that he would like to be Bisping’s opponent in Bisping’s upcoming retirement fight. Bisping has expressed interest in that bout being his final one in the UFC, but told MMA Fighting’s Ariel Helwani last week that he has not been offered the scrap just yet.
“You know that’s a fight that, if it’s on the table, I’m gonna have to put that at the front of the line before I do anything else,” Rockhold said on The MMA Hour. “If he can back up what he just said, I’ll be very willing to take that fight anywhere, any time.”
