This is per bisping calling Luke out and Luke avoiding answering during the press conference......
Luke was scared of jacare?

- Start date
Luke backed out of jacare fight, not the other way around?
Mike said he did, Luke said he didn't. Probably never know the truth. Also Mike was mocking Lukes wording of it "You chose me..." I guess if I have options and A and B and I choose A it's the same as turning down B? Either way, he's beat both already and the Bisping fight will probably get more fans watching, Jacre will rematch Luke soon enough I think.
That's the fight I really want to see. Jacare keeps on looking better and better!
If he would have ended up fighting Jacare, Bisping would be saying that he turned Bisping down.
I also doubt that Luke is scared of someone who he already beat.

Wow I thought Jacare turned it down because of a bad knee? If that's true it's pretty lame on Luke's part. Champs aren't supposed to pick and choose their fights - either you agree to fight anyone on short notice or you fight no one on short notice and just drop out completely.
If u watch Luke/Jacare1, u realize theres no reason for luke to be scared of Jacare. Jacare had trouble controlling Luke, which Luke defended everything on the ground and got up from everytime he was on the bottom. Luke had better striking mixing it up with his kicks. 1st fight showed Jacare couldn't do much to luke for 5rnds. Sure, Jacare has been better but so has luke. And with a win over jacare already I doubt Luke is scared. For chrissake, Luke trains with the majority of dominant grapplers in the game. Bisping trying that psychological warfare. Luke suck at talking tho
Bisping, though, said Thursday at the UFC 199 pre-fight press conference that he heard from a "source very close to the UFC" that Rockhold turned down the fight with 'Jacare' in favor of a fight with him.
"Fortunately, a clown like you will pay the bills," Rockhold said.
Bisping didn't want to hear it. "The Count" continued to mention that Rockhold turned down the 'Jacare' fight.
"Luke didn't want the Jacare fight," Bisping said. "He chose me. He 'chose.' That's a real good way of saying he turned it down. 'I chose you.' So you didn't choose 'Jacare.' I thought you were the big dog. I thought you were the big, swinging dick, man. You were the best in the world, buddy."
Rockhold laughed it off and then later attempted to clarify. He maintained the original story -- 'Jacare' couldn't fight due to injury -- was the real one.
"I didn't turn any fight down," Rockhold said. "I already beat you and I already beat him and I already beat everybody else.
"'Jacare' turned down the fight. I never turned it down. You were left and that's what we had and that's what we worked with."
Rockhold said he couldn't believe Bisping continued to talk crap even though Rockhold beat him by second-round submission in November 2014.
"I fucking knocked you out and I choked you out and you still have the audacity to run your mouth," Rockhold said. "That is the most amazing thing about you, Bisping. I know you can't see straight, but you obviously can't think straight, either."
