If you’ve been paying attention to the MMA headlines over the last few days you’ve probably seen that former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and UFC President Dana White have been having a difference of opinions.<\/p>\n
This conflict began when Rockhold went off on the UFC<\/a> for awarding the next\u00a0crack at Michael Bisping’s middleweight throne to former welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre \u2013 though this plan has since been nixed.<\/p>\n \u201cOur division is hot right now, they\u2019ve got good matchups, but they\u2019re just not putting the champion to work,\u201d Rockhold said on The MMA Hour. \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous. Are they really going to wait until October to make the Georges St-Pierre fight?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe company is kind of losing it these days,\u201d he continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know what happened to the old company where the best fought the best. That\u2019s what built this company, now it\u2019s just a spectator sport. They\u2019re just putting freak shows together.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n These comments then prompted a response from Dana White, who spoke to the media post UFC 211. White’s comments then initiated a back-and-forth with Rockhold on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of guys talking about \u2018deserve\u2019 \u2014 nobody deserves anything,” White said. “You\u2019ve got to earn it here. You\u2019ve got [Luke] Rockhold screaming right now \u2018I deserve this\u2019. You just got knocked out in the first round. You\u2019ve got to come back and earn it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n @danawhite<\/a> "You have to earn your way in this company"? Tell me how did GSP earn a middleweight title shot? Think before you run your mouth<\/p>\n — Luke Rockhold (@LukeRockhold) May 16, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
