Recently, Rockhold joined Submission Radio (courtesy of LowKickMMA) to discuss his injury, and detailed his plans for a return early next year, to give ‘Jacare’ the rematch he so desperately desires:
“I’m not looking to fight another guy and have there be a question mark about who gets the next shot. I’m gonna go straight down the throat. I’m gonna get Jacare, finish my business with Jacare, and make no ifs, ands, or buts who’s the next in line to get that shot, whether it’s Bisping or Yoel,” he added.
The UFC’s Middleweight division has been shaping up rather interestingly, as the formerly undefeated Middleweight champion Chris Weidman was defeated for the second time in his career against Yoel Romero at UFC 205.
Just a week later, the surging Gegard Mousasi made quite the statement by avenging his loss to Uriah Hall, by battering ‘Primetime’ in their main event meeting this past Saturday with a first round TKO.
Now with UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping patiently awaiting the route that the UFC decides to go, there are plenty of title fights to make, after the plethora of 185-pound bouts that have just concluded. If Rockhold wants to get back into the running for a shot at UFC gold, he needs to put on quite the impressive performance against ‘Jacare’ when he makes his return.
