Luke Rockhold wants to fight Mousasi but open to stepping in for Romero or Whittaker at UFC 213

It's been over a year since former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold last stepped foot inside the Octagon.

The No. 2 ranked contender lost the belt in a shocking upset to Michael Bisping at UFC 199 and has kept a low-profile ever since.

That could be about to change, however, as Rockhold told media outlet TMZ that he's training hard and 'looking for a good fight'.

The American Kickboxing Academy product said he wants to fight top contender Gegard Mousasi, but the Iranian-born fighter is currently embroiled in contract negotiations with the UFC.
