Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping says he's ready to restart his career for a third fight with Luke Rockhold.
"I was commentating on the Luke Rockhold fight and everyone is telling me - you have to complete the trilogy. And I'm going to fight Luke Rockhold in the Karate Combat league. I'm going to do it. We're going to complete the trilogy, and I'd really like to do that. One hundred percent. Hey, Karate Combat, I'm waiting for an offer!", - said 45-year-old Bisping in his podcast Believe You Me.
Recall that in 2014, Bisping lost to Rockhold with a choke hold in the second round. In 2016, the Briton managed to take revenge, winning by knockout in the opening five minutes and became the new champion.
Luke Rockhold, former UFC middleweight champion, won for the first time in a long time. Luke won by knockout over former Bellator fighter and Glory champion Joe Schilling. Their confrontation took place at one of Karate Combat's tournaments. After that win, Rockhold challenged Lyoto Machida.
"There's only one person I'd like to fight is Lyoto Machida. You're lucky elbow strikes aren't allowed here, so you don't have to worry about them. Go ahead. Let's see what you can do. Lyoto, I know you need the money, so come here and get it," - quotes the words of Rockhold portal MMAJunkie.
Recall, Rockhold knocked out Schilling at the beginning of the third round.
