UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman is confident ahead of his UFC 194 title defense against Luke Rockhold. So confident, in fact, that he told Ariel Helwani on last week's The MMA Hour that he thought the surging Rockhold's tough talk in the media bout him was just a display of insecurity.
"I'm excited to go out there and just really run through Luke," Weidman said. "I just really cannot imagine myself losing to him. I know he'll talk the same way, but I think he's just kind of faking it. I don't think he really believes he can beat me, but he knows what to say.
