The <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/video-michael-bisping-and-luke-rockhold-forced-to-be-separated-backstage\/\">second was at the post-fight press conference<\/a> when Rockhold began stating that he would &#8220;kill&#8221; Bisping.  The pair exchanged heated words in front of media members, and ultimately had to be separated. <\/p>\n<p>During a recent episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2016\/6\/15\/11930298\/michael-bisping-says-he-regrets-exchange-with-sore-loser-luke\" target=\"_blank\">The MMA Hour<\/a>, Bisping clarified what happened:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Let me clarify my side of the story.  What happened was I went over to Luke and, like I always do, win or lose you always shake your opponent&#8217;s hand. And I went and shook his hand and it was heartfelt. And then I was having my moment, and I was walking around the Octagon. The Octagon is kind shaped like a circle, with square sides. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I was having my moment, and I found myself walking past Luke again, so I wasn\u2019t just going to walk past him and ignore him. I walked past him and I went to reiterate my sentiments, saying listen, again, I love you bud, and he said, \u2018I\u2019ve already shaken your hand,\u2019 really aggressively, and he gave me a dirty look. I said excuse me? \u2018I\u2019ve already shaken your hand,\u2019 and I said, \u2018so that\u2019s how you\u2019re going to be \u2014 you\u2019re going to be a sore loser? Well the pardon my French, but go eff yourself.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So sparks flew, then afterwards in the press conference, I walked it\u2026and as I was walking in he was talking about how he was going to kill me, he\u2019s calling me a maggot,  [saying]\u2018I\u2019m going to destroy this guy, I\u2019m going to absolutely kill Michael Bisping,\u2019 and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a minute. Buddy. Buddy.
