The truth is that UFC 199: Rockhold vs Bisping 2 has been one of the best and most surprising events of the year so far. First and foremost, because of Michael Bisping's incredible victory over Luke Rockhold. Once the event was over, it was time for the post-fight press conference.
Next, we bring you a video with the highlights of the conference and summarize what each of the fighters present have said.
There are rivals who, despite all the discussions before and during a confrontation, when the fight ends, they shake hands, hug, and that's it, rivalry over. But there are also some cases, like Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold, that is not the case.
First, the new UFC Middleweight World Champion speaks. The Briton says that what he has achieved is the work of a lifetime. He always felt he would be able to do it. He understands why people did not believe in him, but he always knew he could. He also adds that some say revenge is sweet. He disagrees, it is better than sweet.
The former Champion responds that his rival has been lucky, that he will come back and finish him. He warns him to enjoy his destiny now (Michael Bisping always mentioned during the promotion of the fight that this was his destiny).
After Luke Rockhold's words, it's the turn of the still UFC Bantamweight World Champion, Dominick Cruz, who remains very calm, just like in the interview after his victory against Urijah Faber, where he mentioned not being surprised, as he always believed in his abilities.
Afterwards, the ex UFC Middleweight Champion continued to speak, commenting that his rival is a warrior and by no means is he finished. He will come back and win the title again.
To finish the video, Michael Bisping speaks again to show respect to Luke Rockhold, mentioning that he is a great fighter and a great Champion and that after two fights, with one win each, a third fight would be good.
