Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman was fired up at the “Unstoppable” press conference prior to UFC 196. However, new champion Luke Rockhold was not impressed, calling ‘The All American’ an “emotional freakin’ little girl.”

“He doesn’t look like himself,” said Rockhold at the EA Sports UFC 2 launch party, as transcribed by Marc Raimondi for MMA Fighting. “I don’t know. We’ll see if this emotion helps him. To my knowledge, emotion doesn’t help you fight. So he better check himself otherwise this fight is gonna be over a lot sooner than he expects — maybe even than I expect. I don’t feel threatened by Chris. I really don’t see what he’s going to bring to the table that’s going to blow me away, anything different. Because of a broken foot? C’mon.”

“Obviously not having the belt has gotten to him and he’s just making up a lot of things in his head seemingly. I don’t know where he’s coming from, but he’s just really emotional. Maybe he’s on his period or something. I don’t know.”

“What is it gonna change when he comes back with a healthy foot? His most effective thing in the whole fight was kicks. And he was kicking with both feet. Having a healthy foot is not going to help be a better boxer. It’s not gonna help being a better grappler.”

“I might as well just go finish him off. We’ll do that, put him behind me and we’ll move on.”

“I think you’re gonna see a different fight. It’s gonna be quick, it’s gonna be fast, it’s gonna be precise. I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna execute. I’m gonna get this fight over with.

“He’s a great fighter. But I’m the best.”

Luke Rockhold fights Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC 199 on June 4 in Los Angeles.
