Things Got Pretty Intense When Luke Rockhold And Chris Weidman Sat Down On SportsCenter

Every day I wake up and say a little prayer to the MMA Gods asking them not to take away either the main or the co-main event of UFC 199.

On June 4th, Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman will go at it again right after Dominick Cruz puts his Bantamweight belt on the line against Urijah Faber, and with UFC 200 a month later it's time to feast for MMA fans.

Earlier this week we saw a tv presenter who was extremely comfortable with getting close to UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold, but someone who was far less comfortable with the proximity of the champ was Chris Weidman.

SportsCentre sat the two lads down and started off with what was a suspiciously calm discussion, until things got a bit more personal and then it got very intense when Weidman brought up Luke's KO defeat to Vitor Belfort.

(If you're only interested in the bickering, skip to 3:50)

The best thing about it is that the fight didn't need to be sold at all, and the dynamic of watching two men interact who do not like each other but are extremely keen to remain respectful is fascinating to watch.

Roll on June.
