Den tidigare mellanviktsmästaren är besviken. Luke Rockhold menar att mellanviktsdivisionen med Georges St-Pierre som mästare kommer stoppas upp på grund av att kanadensaren inte ”vågar” möta de större och tuffare utövarna. Genom MMAfighting sade han följande.
I thought [GSP] would potentially lose, yes. But I did say if he did win, he would be in a situation where wouldn’t fight any of us and then we would just be more tangled up. I don’t want to jump to conclusions. But, I mean, the fact is come out and just that say you don’t want to fight here in the division, relinquish the title, and move on. I’m tired of story after story and just dragging us on and leaving us in the dark. State what it is. If you’re sick you’re sick, but the fact is, you don’t want to fight in the division.
Vidare har Rockhold blivit erbjuden en match mot Yoel Romero. Men Rockhold har bestämt tackat nej då han anser att matchen inte är ”vettig”.
There’s been talks all along the way, potential this, potential that. They have to make up backup plans. They’re trying to make fights like Yoel Romero right now. Why would I fight Yoel Romero no one clearcut fighting Whittaker? Obviously I want to fight for the title if that’s available, I’m not going to f*cking sign any fight. I want to fight for the title, and if that’s available, that what I’m going to do.
If Georges were to stay, it would be laughable. I’d be seeking the fight, I’m not seeking the fight because that’s not realistic. Georges won’t fight me, he won’t fight anyone. So, he looks right, Whittaker is the real champ, he has been the real champ a long time. Like I said, make it official and let’s move on, the sport is losing its integrity.
Rockhold gick sin senaste match mot David Branch under ”UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Branch”, en match den tidigare mellanviktsmästaren vann genom en så kallad ”verbal tapout” i rond två.
