Fabricio Werdum didn’t take too kindly to being challenged by a man not one but two weight categories below – Luke Rockhold former UFC Middleweight champion.
Rockhold issued first challenge:
“I think me and Werdum got some old beef from Strikeforce,” he said on UFC Tonight. “He’s a guy I’ve always wanted to fight. I’ve thought it through and I like the style matchup. Given what’s going on in the middleweight division right now, screw that, I’m coming to heavyweight. Let’s do this.”
but Werdum promptly responded saying He doesn’t fight chickens:
“I only fight people, I don’t fight chickens,” Werdum told MMAFighting.com. “He’s just promoting himself because he knows nobody is talking about him. I’m one step away from the belt. Why would I fight a chicken?”
Still Rockhold is not ready to make the whole thing go and issued an eager response saying:
@fabriciowerdum is trippin if he thinks hes close to UFC title. U r the last person they want n there. I’ll make u look worse than usada did
