Luke Rockhold Says Michael Bisping’s Title Reign Is The Worst Ever

In an interview with UFC Tonight (via MMA Fighting, Luke Rockhold had some harsh words for UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, calling his title reign the worst in UFC history. Here are highlights:

On Bisping’s title reign: “I think it’s the worst in UFC history. No one has ever gotten that treatment, no one has avoided all the top contenders. He was supposed to fight Jacare, he avoided that, he was supposed to fight Yoel, he avoided that, and somehow he’s getting away from this fight Whittaker. He found Dan Henderson, the No. 14th ranked at the time, and now he’s going for GSP. He hasn’t done anything.“

On interim champion Robert Whittaker being a better challenge: “That would be Robert Whittaker, that would be the real champion, that’s the man who is fighting all the guys. We’ll see what his timetable is of course, obviously a third option is Yoel Romero.”

On Bisping’s hints that he’ll retire after the GSP fight: “I’m going to put myself in position. He’s going to have a choice. Either he stands and fights like a man, or he runs. And we all know what he’s doing. He’s ran from the start and it looks like he’s going to run to the finish.”
