Although there wasn’t an initial thaw between Rockhold and Bisping, MMA News has been on top of the evolution of the relationship between the two former rivals.
In 2020, Rockhold said that he was open to squashing the beef between himself and Bisping. And last year, the two actually began training together, much to the surprise of many fans and observants.
Finally, it was just last week that Coach Jason Parillo revealed how Bisping and Rockhold became friends despite their prior feud.
