Michael Bisping appeared on this week’s edition of Spike TV’s “MMA Uncensored Live”, and while discussing Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold, the outspoken UFC contender stated:

“Luke Rockhold? By all accounts he and Lorenz Larkin should fight and the winner of that fight — if not both of them — go over to the UFC. Are they gonna come over and be number one contenders? I don’t think so. You’re in Strikeforce, come over to the UFC and earn your place. Let me put it like this: I’ve sparred with Luke Rockhold recently and let’s just say I’m the unofficial Strikeforce champion. Sorry Luke, but these are the facts.”

Bisping (23-4) is preparing for a January 19th bout with former light-heavyweight champ Vitor Belfort, which will take place at UFC on FX 7 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Rockhold, on the other hand, will be unable to fight Lorenz Larkin as expected on January 12th due to a wrist injury.
