Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold at UFC 194. Official (Poll)

[RobboMarciano]

Weidman's last 4 fight have been against southpaw strikers with strong kicking games, and he's been able to pressure them and nullify most of their offense. Luke definitely brings some new things to the table, but I feel Weidman will be able mix his striking up with takedowns and grind down Rockhold to a 3rd or 4th round finish.

Luke's no slouch on the ground and he's extremely quick in the transitions, but I feel Weidman will have the grappling advantage as well.

 

[Tobago Jones]

Chris Weidman UD.

 

[Diggem]

Rockhold is a better striker with better grappling and he will not care about being taken down by Weidman. Rockhold is free to let his hands go against Weidman unlike all of Weidmans other opponents who were afraid of the TD.

Weidman

 

[HighSt]

Rockhold has all the tool to pull this off.

Plus he trains with DC and Cain so i'd assume he knows a thing or two about dealing with pressure and high level wrestling.

Close fight. I think Rockhold has a legit shot with his overall skill and good cardio but I am going with Weidman.

 

[Someone88]

This is a great fight!

 

[Rum]

Weidman's better everywhere but cardio.

He won't need that though, he finishes Lukey Boy by TKO R3

Surprised at the vote disparity.

I think you guys are really underestimating Rockhold.
