Luke Rockhold: Chris Weidman 'Can't Stand With Me, Can't Grapple With Me'

After his huge win over Lyoto Machida at UFC on FOX 15, Luke Rockhold talks when he knew he broke Machida, how he can convince Dana White to give him the next title shot and how he would fare against Chris Weidman.

Rockhold is so scary.  Dude is great everywhere and he glued his head together and didnt give a fuck

[IsOurSaviour]

People complaining about him being cocky are the same people who complain Mighty Mouse has no personality, funny how all the PR consultants are on youtube.

[Tormentality]

This dude is a goat.  I don't even like him, but his endless potential was on full display this eve.  A pleasure to watch.

[OdinMMA]

Goddamn this handsome bastard, is there anything He wasn't blessed with?

[monkeyboy]

Respect to Rockhold. Talked the talk, walked the walk.

[JimboSlice]

I've really watched Rockhold closely since his UFC debut and he was very unlucky to get KO'd by a freak heel kick from the Phenom that day but man is this guy the real deal. I think he would seriously threaten Weidman's title. Although i think as Rockhold has a more solid stand up don't forget Weidman did KO Silva the original bad ass striker but i think Weidman's biggest worry would be him using his wrestling on Luke and then getting caught in a submission. Rockhold has one of the best submission techniques about.

lol, yeah right. "Oh, i was a little nervous going in there."    If he was nervous to fight an aging Machida, can't wait to see him standing across from a big ass Weidman. I've actually met Weidman in person, and the man's a gem, but his size is crazy. You'd think he was a damn heavyweight, with a wingspan like an eagle.

Very entertaining to watch. This guy is a fucking beast!

[mikeyt]

Good for Luke hes a hard worker and a great fighter. Dude is on top of the world

[UniversalisLogica]

Rockhold is large for the division. So after he takes the 185 belt from Weidman, he will take the 205 one from Jones.

[ikantspelgud]

This is going to be Weidman's toughest challenge to date. I'm not sure who's better where, but Luke really is the most well rounded guy in the division.

[MillsFirst]

Rockhold was in crazy shape and on point, scary guy

[BayStyles]

He's probably the better fighter but I think Weidman would outgrapple him

Can't wait for the fight either way though, looking forward to seeing Weidman take care of business against Vitor

[jamriangjindawed]

Jacare is next in line for the belt. Yoel Romero vs Luke Rockhold next. Lyoto slipped, that caused him the fight, Luke took the opportunity to hold him down and pound.

[Futballplayer]

Doing all the right things. He's trying to hype the potential fight with Weidman so he actually has a higher chance of getting the fight immediately [assuming the Weidman/Belfort goes down as we expect - Weidman owning Vitor].

[HollywoodWestern]

Cris Weidman still hasn't even fought Vitor Belfort yet. Why are there predictions of Weidman vs. Rockhold?

[jvrdlc]

never expected that outcome on that fight.. Lyoto was fighting good, got good counters but was rushing a bit too. props for luke.. he is a big strong MW

[pokerman]

I didn't think his standup was that great. He tends to leave his hands low.  However, I fucking love watching the guy fight.

[WashedCoachWithChips]

This will be Weidman's 2nd biggest challenge, no doubt about it. But how fast did some forget about his greatest challenge, UFC 162 ring a bell? Haha, I like Rockhold and I think he's frigging awesome and does have a chance but I still think Weidman is on another level.

[jj]

The last time he was this cocky he got his head kicked off.
