Fabricio Werdum fires back at Luke Rockhold: 'I don't fight chickens'

While Luke Rockhold wants to move up two weight classes to take on former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, 'Vai Cavalo' simply isn't interested.

Rockhold, an ex-Strikeforce and UFC middleweight champ, called out Werdum on Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight, telling co-hosts Tyron Woodley and Kenny Florian that he has some 'old beef' with Werdum from the Strikeforce days.

The Californian has been absent from competition since he lost the 185-pound title to heavy underdog Michael Bisping last year, losing — shockingly — via first-round KO.
