It will likely be promoted to the real belt and GSP stripped, so its no big deal.BOOOO. BS that Whittaker has to defend an interim belt. That said, this is a very interesting fight. I'm rooting for Whittaker, who can KO Rockhold if his TDD holds.
Strip GSP? He just fought a month ago.
If he's not fighting Bobby knuckles he can fuck off with that piece of plastic he won.
I was so surprised to see how shitty his striking defense looked against Branch. You'd think he'd learned after getting fucked up by Bisping and losing his belt.
I'm sure he will try and take Whittaker down but wrestling has never been Rockhold's strong-suit and if Whittaker was able to stuff Romero all night on a bum knee, I don't see Rockhold having much success in that department.
If he gets Whittaker's back flat to the mat he will, Rockhold's control from the top is nutso. Weidman and Branch are legit as fuck on the ground and got owned over there. But Whittaker's defensive wrestling in open space and against the cage is so elite I doubt it ever comes to that.
That is an unreasonable stance, he just fought a month ago.
Haha nah I honestly remember him winning three straight, then looked and thought ah yeah he lost threw straight... HahaI wasn't sure whether to take your seriously or not haha
I know.. I hold my hands up lmaoShame on you for forgetting dees tings
GSP Vs Woodley next summer then !!
Almost everyone doesn't see that happening...If he can stuff Yoel,he can possibly stuff everyone. The man is a fucking beast. Has to be a random trip or somethingBut if Luke gets him down... it’s over.
If you can keep Yoel at bay I think he will be okI think Whittaker wins but the real deadly part of Rockhold's game is his top control is a MF'er. As long as Bobby Knuckles can keep it standing he is probably golden.
Why luke though lol
Luke is now saying no to yoel based on from what he said on the mma hour show because yoel doesn't have the belt so there's no point
