Luke Rockhold says Chris Weidman's 'bitch move' was turning point in their UFC 194 fight

LOS ANGELES -- Luke Rockhold all but knew the UFC middleweight title was going to be his when Chris Weidman pulled what was, in his words, a "bitch move" during the opening round of their UFC 194 title fight.

Weidman got Rockhold's back after a first-round scramble and went for a submission. And while on the surface, it may have looked like Weidman's advantage, Rockhold says he believed at that moment that Weidman wasn't confident in his wrestling.

"It's a bitch move," Rockhold said at a noticabely tense media day Wednesday promoting their UFC 199 rematch.
