Luke Rockhold Says Georges St-Pierre Should Move On From Middleweight

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Luke Rockhold said that Georges St-Pierre should move on from the UFC middleweight division. GSP won the middleweight title from Michael Bisping at UFC 217 last month. Here are highlights:

On not believing that GSP will defend the title: “He’s not fighting any of us. He’s too small. Guys like me would feast on Georges. He won’t last here. He had his opportunity, he got his belt, good for you. Just move along and let us handle our business here.”

On thinking Bisping would win: “I thought [GSP] would potentially lose, yes. But I did say if he did win, he would be in a situation where wouldn’t fight any of us and then we would just be more tangled up.”

On GSP’s claims of illness: “I don’t want to jump to conclusions. But, I mean, the fact is come out and just that say you don’t want to fight here in the division, relinquish the title, and move on. I’m tired of story after story and just dragging us on and leaving us in the dark. State what it is. If you’re sick you’re sick, but the fact is, you don’t want to fight in the division.”
