Michael Bisping reacts to Luke Rockhold’s latest loss

Michael Bisping was pointing out a repeat error his MMA nemesis was making against Darren Till.

Luke Rockhold kept backing up into the corner, which ultimately led to him being brutally knocked out.

“Boom! Luke Rockhold is down, and he is fast asleep. He’s out cold,” Bisping said immediately after watching the KO.

“I called it… Luke Rockhold was asleep, man, he was out for the count.

“That was a bad night at the office. That was a bad night for Luke Rockhold.

“That was always going to happen. As soon as I heard this fight was happening, I had Darren Till all day.

“Call me Nostradamus. Call me a genius. Call me a d—head, but I did predict that.

“Sad to see. The reason I say that is because I don’t like seeing anyone get knocked out like that, that many times.”

Michael Bisping’s Misfits 22 prediction

Bisping insisted there’s ‘no grudges’ as he highlighted a ‘troubling’ stat ahead of Till vs. Rockhold.

‘The Count’ pointed out Rockhold’s age and how long had passed since their rematch in 2016 during an exclusive interview with Bloody Elbow.

“It’s been quite the entertaining circus this week,” Bisping said. “I wish both guys the best.

“Darren’s obviously a mate of mine…I’ve gotta back Darren on this one. But I have no grudges against Luke Rockhold. We share a similar coach in Jason Parillo now. I’ve been in his presence. I was down the gym not long ago. We went and got coffee.

“There’s no grudges there. That was all a very, very long time ago — almost a decade ago. That’s the troubling thing when you look at this fight. He was the champion almost a decade ago, and this is a young man’s game.

“Darren Till is 32. Darren Till’s an incredible striker; he’s got speed and power in the hands.

“Luke Rockhold’s a better kicker, Luke Rockhold’s a better grappler, Luke Rockhold’s got an incredible top game, but all of those strengths are taken away in a boxing match,” Bisping continued.

“So I favor Darren Till. I think Darren Till might get the job done here.”
