Luke Rockhold was backstage to congratulate middleweight champ Robbie Lawler after his performance at UFC 195.
While I was looking at this Twitter picture I realized one thing that could be a possibility depending on how Luke Rockhold fairs against former champ Chris Weidman on a rematch.
Rockhold has granted Weidman a rematch but the AKA fighter made statements that he’ll “put him right back down.”
If Rockhold defends his belt twice against Vitor Belfort in a grudge-match or maybe even Yoel Romero, Â however, the thought of Rockhold taking Romero in to championship rounds isn’t close to the realm of reality given Romero’s last performance.
“Ruthless” on the other hand has a title shot that needs to be contracted so he can defend his title against Tyron Woodley. Â Once those fights happen and both fighters defend, we should start talking a super-fight between {Lawler vs Rockhold}.
But as we all know the stars and moon need to align just perfectly sometimes for a super-fight goes down. Â Hopefully we see one this year.
Who would win in a Lawler vs Rockhold match-up?
