Luke Rockhold: Georges St-Pierre should ‘move along’ from middleweight
Luke Rockhold is convinced that newly crowned UFC middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre wants nothing to do with the division.
Rockhold, a former UFC and Strikeforce champion, was convinced of what many others thought when they heard that St-Pierre, the former longtime UFC welterweight champion, was coming out of retirement to meet then-middleweight champ Michael Bisping at UFC 217. GSP sensed a vulnerable champ, one he could defeat even as an undersized 185-pounder.
Now, a month after St-Pierre scored a memorable submission win over Bisping to claim the gold, Rockhold doesn’t believe he’ll defend the 185-pound title.
