Chris Weidman sa nyligen att Luke Rockhold är en osäker person. Rockhold har nu svarat på Weidmans anklagelser.
UFCs mellanviktsmästare Chris Weidman sa tidigare i veckan att hans nästa utmanare Luke Rockhold var en osäker person. Rockhold har nu svarat på kritiken:
”It sounds like (Weidman)’s asleep in bed. I just don’t know what the hell’s going on in his head. I don’t know if he’s psychologically convinced himself that we’re scared of him or something, but he’s not on the right page. I feel like he’s in for a rude awakening.”
”I know one thing… I’m going to start bringing Monster Energy drinks to our press conference and all our media engagements, just to give him something extra to promote this fight. His interviews are like watching paint dry.”
De har båda mött Vitor Belfort och Lyoto Machida. Rockhold jämförde också deras prestationer mot brassarna:
”He’s been in there and he’s fought some tough guys, I’ll give him that. He fought the old lion with his balls cut off. I fought a different fighter. He wants to keep comparing our two fights, it’s a joke. I got caught, and that doesn’t tell the tale of a fight. I got caught by a juiced-out animal. Him? He fought an old lion with his balls cut off.”
”We fought Machida in the relative same time. You saw how I dealt with Machida and how he struggled with him in five-round fight, and almost got beat multiple times. I don’t believe there was one moment where I struggled with Machida. If there’s a difference on the ground, if he thinks his grappling’s superior, look at that fight. He couldn’t hold Machida down and I completely dominated him on the ground. Stand-up realm, he’s tough on the feet — but he’s slow. He’s slow, he’s clumsy…he kicks like Michael Bisping, really the most awkward, funky kicks.
