“He kind of made the blueprint. He made it possible for Dana to look at somebody like me and even make me the offer. I’m thankful for that, for sure. I asked him what the hardest thing for him to do was; he’s a super freak athlete, but something had to be difficult for him. I find it’s the exact same thing I’m having difficulty with, and that’s learning to let go. Striking, sparring is completely different. Someone’s trying to punch me in the face, I’m trying to punch them in the face. But often I’ll find I’m too light on guys if I’m rolling, my hips aren’t heavy enough, it’s like I’m trying to work with them like the old pro wrestling kicking in, and he had the same problem, so it’s interesting to know that. I’d love to see Brock back. I think it would be good for Brock, and it would just be fun to have him around.”

“I think I can finish Machida and I think I can perform and I look to be solid. Given Machida’s very quick, he’s elusive, he poses a lot of threats, I mean, I’m not going to say it’ll be a walk in the park. I know I can go out there and make it relatively easy if I go out there and fight the way I know I can. Like I said, it is Machida. I’ve just got to pursue him with caution and do what I plan on doing. “I’ve got a lot of cool stuff, a lot of fun stuff. I’m always going to look to be exciting and I think I can bring up a different avenue of threats that he hasn’t really experienced yet. I’m going to go out there and try to perform. What can I say? Things don’t always go as planned, but if things go the way my head thinks they’re going to go, I’m going to go out there and dominate.” In a new interview with The MMA Fight Corner, Luke Rockhold discussed his upcoming fight against Lyoto Machida.

“Well first off, let me be the first to tell you that I’m the biggest Ronda Rousey fan that there is and I think that she’s an incredible athlete. Where I would hold the advantage is that I would not be mentally broken before the fight ever started, which I feel is sometimes to me – in my opinion – what seems to be the case with these other women that are facing her. They already look dead upon arrival when they’re in the cage with her and I refuse to be shaken.”
