But I will say this, Daniel Cormier, &#8216;DC&#8217; is a great guy, I\u2019ve got a tone of respect for that man, and he\u2019s like best mates with Luke Rockhold. So, I guess Luke Rockhold can\u2019t be that bad, otherwise DC couldn\u2019t be friends with him. So, I think if we met under different circumstances, who knows, we could be going surfing together. Not that I surf, but you know what I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I don\u2019t give a shit, mate,&#8221; Bisping added. &#8220;I don\u2019t hold grudges against anybody. Well, there\u2019s a couple of people back in England that if I get my hands on then I\u2019ll wring their necks, but other than that, there\u2019s nobody professional. Listen, those days are behind me now. I have no ill will. I wish everybody the best. I don\u2019t have any grudges, and yeah, I\u2019d happily share a beer with Rockhold.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Michael Bisping burying the hatchet with Luke Rockhold?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 4\/16\/2020. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At one point, Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold were two of the most bitter rivals in MMA.
