"Despite also handing Machida a loss, which resulted in him gaining the No. 1 contender position, Rockhold isn't all too impressed with Weidman's overall resume and he doesn't plan on changing his style prior to them facing off.
"He’s fought a bunch of old Brazilians that have been scared of that and there’s a new wave of guys coming up that he’s about to encounter. I’m coming at him full steam," Rockhold said. "I’m going to work on my wrestling defense more, but that’s about it. If it’s not broken, then don’t fix it. It’s not just about beating my opponent, it’s about going out there and making a statement and trying to reach my potential."
""I feel the same way that he feels," Rockhold said. "The only difference is I train with elite level fighters and he doesn’t. I know what I’m capable of. 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."
Rockhold actually does sound pretty insecure, honestly. 'An old lion with his balls cut off'? lol
