Back in June of 2016, a widely unheralded Michael Bisping shocked the world by clubbing Luke Rockhold to a first-round knockout, capturing the UFC middleweight title as a result. Since this win, Bisping has defended the middleweight title with a hard-fought decision win over the retiring Dan Henderson. Rockhold, meanwhile, has not been seen in the Octagon since.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting, of course, that Rockhold was briefly scheduled for a November rematch with Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza, but was unfortunately forced out of this fight with an injury. Despite the legitimate reason for Rockhold’s lengthy absence from the cage, however, Bisping doesn’t believe he’ll ever return.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhat is Luke Rockhold doing?\u201d Bisping said on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cWhen did he say he\u2019s going to fight again? What are his plans? I do believe we are now almost in March. That fight was in June. I don\u2019t know what happened there, but I think I took his soul. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever see Luke Rockhold again. I beat the sh*t out of him. I don\u2019t know, I think he\u2019s done. The way he went down, I think so. Why hasn\u2019t he fought again?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of time has passed. If that were me [that lost], I would\u2019ve been right back in there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bisping then commented on Rockhold’s frequent travels, suggesting the former champ has grown accustomed to a lavish lifestyle that doesn’t include being punched in the face.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s not bad enough that he needs surgery, but he needs, what, he needs nine months to go travel the world and be a playboy? That doesn\u2019t sound like a man who wants to be champion again to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What do you think of these comments from Michael Bisping? When do you think Luke Rockhold will return to the cage? Sound off, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
