Dana White: Luke Rockhold ‘probably’ next for UFC middleweight title
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY SportsLuke Rockhold and Ronaldo Souza impressed at UFC on FOX 15, but it looks like Rockhold might be the next in line for a shot at the UFC middleweight title.
"Jacare" made quick work of Chris Camozzi on April 18, but Rockhold dominated and tapped former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida minutes later in the main event. UFC president Dana White won’t set in stone right now who will earn the next shot at the gold, but is leaning towards Rockhold.
"Probably. It makes sense that he would be next, yes, that he would be next," White said of Rockhold during a scrum with the Latin America media. "Who knows how all this stuff is gonna play out."
