Don’t anoint Luke Rockhold as the UFC middleweight No. 1 contender-in-waiting just yet.
While the American Kickboxing Academy product appeared to leave no doubt about the division’s pecking order with his thrashing of Lyoto Machida in the UFC on Fox 15 main event on Saturday night, promotion president Dana White isn’t so sure.
After all, it wasn’t Ronaldo Souza’s fault that fellow contender Yoel Romero pulled out of their co-headlining bout at the last minute due to injury. Instead, “Jacare” was left with an uninspiring rematch against Chris Camozzi, an opponent he handily defeated in his UFC debut nearly two years ago.
