“Anthony Smith, yeah. I mean, what, (Thiago) Santos came up just recently too. These guys, I’m just not impressed,” Rockhold told Submission Radio. “They’re a little sloppy in so many ways and I see openings and I’m ready to move up. I mean, the rest of the division, there’s a couple of good guys up there, but I don’t see much. I’m ready to come up and I’m ready to shut it down. [Smith] looked like shit. He didn’t look good in his last fight. I’m not gonna say… he looked like a bum, truthfully.”

Luke Rockhold done with middleweight, unimpressed with sloppy bums like Anthony Smith


Who would you take in a Rockhold/Smith showdown? I think it's 50/50.

Luke is better technically everywhere. If it goes to the mat I expect Rockhold to have a big advantage. Only issue is how he feels at 205 with the bigger dudes.

UFC: Ok how about you vs Gustafsson?

Rockhold: No.

He is a gargantuan MW. It makes sense to move up. It wasn't the cut that lost him fights at middleweight tho. He's gotta focus better. I honestly think rockhold when he is switched on and in top gear is able to whip anyone. He's gotta find his final form now tho.

Smith might just put him on Ice skates
Luke is gonna fight guys his own size so he better keep the chatter down

luke was a huge middle weight he is 6'3" he might be slighlty smaller than the largest lhw's.

I wanted Branch to win so bad he was stacked on my picks cards and dk. I was sure he was gonna win til the G&P happen.

2018 was the year that fighters moved up to their natural weight to look better than ever before. Maybe Luke will do exactly that. I'd like to see him against Lionheart or Santos to start. Does Rockhold have a nickname? It should be 'Rick Rude.'
