Former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold has responded to comments made by Anthony Smith after the former light heavyweight title contender stated that he would “drill a hole” through Rockhold’s face during last week’s UFC seasonal press conference.
Rockhold announced his intention to move up from the 185-pound division last year and has had several 205-pounders on his radar including Smith. In the lead-up to Smith’s title fight against Jones at UFC 235 this past March; Rockhold said he thought that “Lionheart” wouldn’t pose a threat to the champion Jones.
TMZ Sports spoke to Rockhold to get his thoughts on Smith’s comments at the recent press conference.
