It\u2019s all part of the process, it\u2019s all part of the journey, and you move along, you learn and you move forward,&#8221; Rockhold said to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iX-RTzjByfM&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Submission Radio<\/a>. &#8220;So, I\u2019m a happy person, content with where I\u2019m at, and I\u2019ll let the future decide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m 35 but I feel like I\u2019m younger than most of these guys in their 20\u2019s. So, I\u2019m healthy and I\u2019m just living my life,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;I\u2019m gonna do what I do for now, and if it comes back at some point, so be it. And I don\u2019t foresee that at this point. I\u2019m pretty happy with what I\u2019m doing, and I\u2019m jumping into some other paths. There\u2019s lots left to conquer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Luke Rockhold were to return, many point to him <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/chris-weidman\/luke-rockhold-not-interested-in-fighting-chris-weidman-again\/\">rematching Chris Weidman. Yet, he says he is no interested in that<\/a>. Instead, he says what would interest him into returning is a 195-pound division. He knows he is too big for middleweight and too small for light heavyweight, as evident by his last fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Weight issues, trying to make weight. For me, I feel like I\u2019m killing myself to get down to 185, so I don\u2019t see it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That was my reasoning. More weight classes, add them in. Where\u2019s that 195-weight division? Then maybe I think about coming back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Rockhold wants a 195-pound division, it seems unlikely the division will be added.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think the UFC will create a 195-pound division anytime soon?
