Luke Rockhold UFC middleweight title challenger Luke Rockhold is enjoying a back-and-forth with champ Chris Weidman in advance of their showdown at UFC 194. It’s a coping strategy as much as anything else, he admitted. “I’m a competitive person, and a little heated battle builds it up,” he told MMAjunkie Radio. “It’s fun to me. It’s a little more motivation for me to train, and I think it’s good for the fans too.” Rockhold (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC), an ex-Strikeforce champ, has waited more than two years to fight for the UFC belt and will do it on Dec. 12 when he meets the reigning titleholder, Weidman (13-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) on a talent-packed UFC 194 pay-per-view card at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
