Luke Rockhold on Title Shot: 'I Don't Know What the Hell They're Doing'
Luke Rockhold is feeling a bit uneasy with the UFC idling on the vacant No. 1 contender's spot in the middleweight division.
The former Strikeforce champion seemingly convinced the world he was next in line after destroying former UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida in April. No other fighter before him had ever done that to Machida, an MMA legend and future Hall of Famer.
Rockhold, who is riding a four-fight win streak, also has dominant finishes over Michael Bisping, Tim Boetsch and Costas Philippou. It's a resume fitting of a top contender. But a man from Rockhold's past is also in the running for UFC gold.
