UFC middleweight Luke Rockhold ran through Lyoto Machida Saturday night. Rockhold hurt Machida in the first round and never let up. Going into the second Machida was still on daze street and Rockhold took advantage.<\/p>\n

Machida tapped in the second round to a rear-naked-choke. After the fight, at the post-fight press conference, Rockhold didn’t mince words. He wants the title shot and feels like it’s his time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said it before, and I\u2019ll say it again: This is my show. I was going to dominate whether he was fighting me well or not.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNo offense to Jacare, but I am the No. 1 contender. I\u2019m the best guy around, and it\u2019s my title shot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve dominated everybody in my path; I\u2019ve beaten Jacare, and I deserve it. I\u2019ve been in there with Vitor. I\u2019d love a rematch. All the greats get caught \u2013 it\u2019s the champions that come back and prove themselves and get on top. I\u2019m the best in the world, and I believe I\u2019ll beat Chris and Vitor and anybody else in my path. I want the title next. I want the winner.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
