Luke Rockhold’s Comments on Middleweight Pecking Order Infuriate Chris Weidman
Luke Rockhold seems to have ruffled a few feathers within the middleweight division during a Q & A session in advance of this weekend’s UFC 221 event in Perth, Australia.

It seems others in the division didn’t take kindly to those words. Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman, who has a frosty history with Rockhold, fired back on Twitter:
“Rockhold never defended (the) belt (and) got KO’d by Bisping. He refused fights for a year and a half and fought once against (David) Branch who had him KO’d in the (first round),” said Weidman. “Yoel is coming off a loss. Whitaker if anyone has, but was just given title after GSP resigned. So Rockhold is living in la la land.”
