Luke Rockhold Wants to Fight Anderson Silva

July 29, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Luke Rockhold recently appeared on ESPN’s Five Rounds podcast, here are the highlights…

On Wanting to Fight Anderson Silva: “There’s a guy I’ve always wanted to fight and that’s Anderson Silva. Anderson Silva is still in the division, he’s still obviously relevant. He had the controversial loss to Bisping, and I had my loss to Bisping. And obviously fighting my teammate on short notice, I think he’s still very relevant and it’s a fight that makes a lot of sense and would be a fun one to do.”

On Why He Wants The Fight: “Personally, looking at the division I think that makes the most sense. I’ve already fought Jacare. Weidman, of course a lot of people talking about that rematch but I don’t really see the sense in it at this point. I’m open to a lot of things but I really like the sound of that match-up now.”
