Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping aren't likely to fight each other anytime soon, but they continue to go after one another verbally in the media.

The latest comments come from Rockhold, just a day before Bisping fights Cung Le in Macau. He's upping the ante as well, guaranteeing he'd finish Bisping if they fought, and wanting to put some money on it with the Brit.

"I've got a wager," Rockhold said in an interview with MMAjunkie. "Bisping is grossly overpaid, comparably to where we are. So, I bet Michael Bisping, if I don't finish you in the first round, you can have my purse. But if I do finish you in the first round, you give me your purse. So if I don't finish you in the first round, whether I beat you in a decision or what, you get both of our purses. But if I do finish you in the first round, we switch purses, and I get yours.

"Let's see if you've got some balls, kid. Bring it... Bisping, he's a s*** talker, and we've had our beef for a long time. He said he had gotten the better of me in our training session. Let's see about that. Put your money where your mouth is, kid."

Penick's Analysis: While Bisping continues to say how much he wants to punch Rockhold in the face, I highly doubt there'd ever be a wager like that allowed to go through in the UFC. On top of that, I don't believe for a second that Bisping would entertain it, no matter how confident he felt in the matchup. Rockhold's right that Bisping is overpaid comparatively speaking, but that's the Brit getting himself a deal based on tenure and exposure as well. It'd be interesting to see this fight, and perhaps in the future it can happen, but Rockhold's higher up the ladder right now, and if he gets his fight with Lyoto Machida, he might just get into a title fight soon after that.
