“I'm not worried about your resume. I know exactly who he fought, and we fought the same guys. I know how he did against them and how I did against them. Chris is about to discover that he has several holes in his game, but that until now he hasn't faced anyone who can exploit them. I'm not going to sit still, waiting for him to control it. I'll stop him in the middle of the Octagon. I will dominate him and then finish him”, promised the challenger, in a press conference reproduced by the North American website “MMA Fighting”.
Rockhold is confident that he will stop Weidman's main weapon, wrestling, as he has been training hard with his heavier gym mates. “Weidman will have to think again if he thinks his wrestling will dictate where the fight will take place, because I deal with these things every day. I just sparred with Daniel Cormier, I've been training with Cain [Velasquez] my whole career, so I'm used to big wrestlers. They’re the best and they’re a lot bigger than Weidman, so I’m used to pressure,” Rockhold explained.
The fight between Weidman and Rockhold will be the co-main attraction of UFC 194, an event to be held in Las Vegas, in the United States. In the biggest attraction of the night, José Aldo e Conor McGregor they face each other for the unification of the linear and interim featherweight titles.
