Luke Rockhold is relaxed and confident ahead of his UFC on Fox 15 main event against Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida Saturday evening in Newark, New Jersey.
The former Strikeforce middleweight champion has finished three straight fights inside the UFC Octagon, most recently decimating Michael "The Count" Bisping at UFC Fight Night 55 via second-round submission.
Now, the No. 4-ranked UFC middleweight puts his streak on the line against the former light heavyweight champion Machida in a bout that will likely determine the next contender for a title shot in the UFC's ever-deepening 185-pound division.
Bleacher Report caught up with Rockhold ahead of this marquee matchup, and the American Kickboxing Academy product opened up on Machida, steroids, current middleweight title contender Vitor Belfort and much more.
