So Rockhold was all injured and unable to fight Larkin, but when an opportunity to get on live national television comes up, he's all healed up? It may be true that Strikeforce/Showtime screwed him during what may have been the best years of his career (we'll see), but the situation is shady. I understand that he had time to get well since his injuries, but calling out someone the day after it's announced that he's signed is just too convenient.
Makes sense, Silva obviously wants Bisping to win, Lombard, Belfort, Bisping, Okami are all booked, Weidman is still on the bench with his injury, so a guy like Costa is perfect for him, he's top ten, he's good but not great, if he beats him he can ask for a title or be 1 fight away from one, so it's probably the best move
People said Tim would beat Costa now Luck will beat Costa lol I been watching him since his debut I hope he continues outting together W and impressive ones at that just cause the lack of respect he gets
Good fight, makes sense.
I wonder if Hardy/Brown would be on the main card or the FX prelims.
My perfect card would be
Bendo/Gilbert
DC/Mir
Luke/Costa
AG/Mousasi
Then put Hardy/Brown and maybe fights like Cung Le/Belcher on FX.
beat costa and get a title shot? no i don't think so.
You can do better than that Luke.
lol this. Rockhold must not think that high of himself.. but there arent many other top 10 MWs that arent already booked for a fight.
