“A lot of people may have just seen my UFC fights and so they’ve seen me win quick and clean. But Weidman has followed me for a long time. He has seen me in wars and he knows how I fight in a war,” Rockhold insisted.

“I think Weidman brings out the best in me. I wouldn’t be surprised if this fight goes long and hard. I bet we go a couple rounds, first. He’s survived on his toughness and grit.
