"Whoever they put in front of me I'm going to be ready. Luke Rockhold is a great guy and good fighter.  He has all the reason to be there to fight me. So, I am just going to do my job and go in there and do my thing. I have more experience than him, so I want to use that as an advantage. I know he's a good fighter - a good stand-up guy, a good grappling guy, and good takedowns, so I am going to use my experience to go in there and get the victory."
