Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping each have a win over the other. The two are longtime rivals, inside and outside the Octagon. Bisping likely has just one fight left before retirement.
It only makes sense for that farewell bout to be the Rockhold trilogy, right? Bisping brought it up on his podcast recently. And Rockhold would like to see it happen, too, he told Ariel Helwanion Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. He said it is currently “in discussion.”
“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. “If he can back up what he just said, I’ll be very willing to take that fight any where, any time.”
With one caveat — Rockhold wants Bisping to come up and do the fight at light heavyweight. Rockhold said his days of making middleweight with those hard weight cuts are likely over.
“Let’s make it a little more intriguing,” Rockhold said. “Let’s bring it to 205.”
Luke Rockhold: Trilogy fight with Michael Bisping ‘in discussion’ with UFC
BUT, Rockhold wants Bisping to move up and fight him at light heavyweight. Hope that's not a deal-breaker.
