UFC Offers Rockhold A Fight With Mousasi

Luke just said on The MMA Hour

Sounds like he wants more money or interim belt, upset Bisping isn't defending against top ranked guys and holding out til October to fight GSP

He says if he is just fining for fun and money with no rode to a title, he wants to move up to light heavyweight

Really wants Werdum at heavyweight, he walks around at 208 now

He says middleweights should stand there ground and not fight unless someone gets a title shot

Without them there isn't a division

Why the fuck does he think he deserves a title shot or an interim belt, he got KOd in the first round of his first title defence and has sat on the sidelines since whilst everyone else has been fighting.

Rockhold is in denial regarding how brutally and easily he was dispatched in his title defence. Have him fight Yoel to earn a rematch with the Champ if he's that desperate for a title shot. 

Let him and Anderson fight, fuck it. No interim but winner gets winner of yoel vs bisping or whatever. Guys sitting out their primes sucks.

he doesn't deserve one, but he deserves a path to it. What is happening in the mw division is total bullshit.

makes no sense, Moose is coming from a win and rockhold from a loss. moose vs whittaker would make sense

Moussasi is the guy to beat to get him back in the mix he's been offered the perfect fight imo.

I'd say he's done more in the MW division than GSP has. If you're bitching that Luke doesn't deserve even an interim shot, I can't imagine the outcry from you two that GSP is holding up the division for a year and getting the legit title shot.

Beating Mousasi shouldn't put you in the mix, it should get you a title shot. An interim belt pretty much guarantees that. With the UFC spending 1.5-2 years giving shots to Hendo and GSP and then Romero understandably next, I'd want some sort of a guarantee too.

Yeah the thing is they want to hold back on the interim BS after everyone started getting uppity demanding one. 

 

Plus Bisping isn't hurt nor is he fighting in another division like Conor. He is just waiting for his opponent to be able to fight. Bisping defended in October. Thats less than a year ago. Even in October/November by the time he fights GSP, he will have fought an opponent opponent this year for the belt.

 

Getting an interim serves no purpose other than to pump up the sales of a particular PPV in an emergency situation like what happened with Pettis vs Holloway. That is the only reason to do it.

Oh, and only beating Yoel Romero should give you a title shot since he is the number ONE contender.

 

Fucking whiners wont even give the #1 guy the respect he deserves but they cry about Luke "Zero Defenses" Rockhold.

He never said he deserves either of those. He wants a fight that makes him next in line after romero.

He said because mousasis last fight ended in controversy he feels it wont move him in front of whittaker so he would rather fight whittaker.

Fuck it, feed him to Whittaker then.

I'm all for any fight that leaves Rockhold unconscious against the cage again.

Why should get get a shot with one win?  He hadn't fought since getting smashed ages ago, he should need at least two wins at this point it's not like he's some huge star or the division is lacking in challengers.

Jacare scrap is interesting.

Luke is going to Iaquinta his prime years away waiting for what he thinks he deserves.
