Luke Rockhold thinks he can accomplish something his longtime teammate Daniel Cormier failed to do on two occasions.
A former UFC middleweight champion, Rockhold is poised to make a move to the light heavyweight division and he told TMZ that he’s not intimidated by Jones, who recently made his return from a second drug-test suspension at UFC 232. There, Jones defeated Alexander Gustafsson by third-round TKO to capture his third UFC title (including one interim belt) and improve his pro record to 23-1 (1 NC).
That one loss on Jones’s record was a dubious disqualification back in 2009 and Rockhold thinks he could be the first man to truly defeat “Bones”.
