“Until the UFC puts out an interim title or they don’t make Bisping fight a challenger, I won’t accept any fight. And I think the rest of the division should do the same. What's the point of that? No guys like me, Romero, Mousasi or Whittaker? I think everyone should put their foot down and say “f…it” to the UFC. Put a title up for grabs or else “f…it”, there is no more division”, commented Rockhold on the North American program “The MMA Hour”.

When asked if he was really openly asking fighters to go on strike, the former champion just smiled, but assured that he had already given his opinion on the matter.

“I think we're all kind of on strike already, right? We are all waiting for the title. Whittaker is out. I've already given my opinion, and I think someone like Mousasi should also put his foot down. I mean, without us there is no f… division. Make something happen,” he commented, frustrated.
