With Bisping slated to face St-Pierre later this year, Rockhold says he’s game to take on the real top contender in Yoel Romero if the UFC would consider crowning an interim champion at 185 pounds.
“If they want to put a real belt on the line, I’d gladly go fight Yoel for it,” Rockhold said. “But I want security. If I’m going to go fight a top guy, I want to know that my next fight is the unified title and get that going. I’m not here to dance around. I’m here to fight for titles and fight for championship money.”
It’s no surprise that Bisping remains the biggest thorn in Rockhold’s side considering how badly he wants the chance to avenge the knockout loss he suffered to him last year.
Unfortunately, Rockhold just can’t be sure when he’ll get another chance to face him if he’ll ever get the opportunity to fight him again.
“He’s avoided “Jacare” [Souza] and he’s avoided Yoel Romero. He’s doing everything he can not to get those fights and they are forced them to pretty much offer these fights,” Rockhold said about Bisping.
“I’m so much better than Michael. If he ever mans up and I get the opportunity to fight him, I’ll show that. We’ll see. The way the division’s going, I don’t know.”
