VIDEO: Bisping and Rockhold have to be separated after heated argument
Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold are doing their best to hype their fight on Nov. 8, intentionally or otherwise.
On Thursday, video surfaced of Bisping and Rockhold getting into it off camera at a press event, an argument that, it appears, they were unaware was being filmed. Not only was the confrontation very profane - Bisping even uses homophobic language, which he'll surely regret - but one of Bisping's people had to step in at one point to ensure it didn't get physical.
You can watch the video, which contains language not safe for work, below:
The two fighters arguing over resumes is entertaining, but Bisping surely has the edge - at 25-6 with 15 knockouts, he's surely a more lethal striker than the 12-2 Rockhold, who owns just three knockouts. Of course, knockouts aren't all that matters, and Rockhold has seven submission victories as well.
The Nov. 8 fight is set to take place in Australia, headlining a Fight Night card. Even if the two combatants are embellishing their disdain to sell the fight, well, it's working.
