MEXICO CITY — UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman knows Luke Rockhold is up next for a title shot, and he’s already not willing to give an inch to the challenger – not even in a lighthearted war of words.

While a date isn’t set for the two men to battle over the belt, both Rockhold (14-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC) and Weidman (13-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) have taken to throwing some verbal jabs in the media.

While attending Saturday’s UFC 188 pay-per-view event at Mexico City Arena in Mexico, Weidman spoke to the media about Rockhold and got in a few shots.

“He’s good looking. I’ll give him that,” Weidman told MMAjunkie. “Other than that, he stinks at everything. No, he’s good. He’s well-rounded. It doesn’t matter. Any of these guys at my weight – I’m just running through everybody.”

Weidman also wanted to make it clear that he vehemently disagrees with Rockhold’s idea that the challenger is better than him in any facet of the MMA game, let alone at “everything.”

“What’d he say?” Weidman asked. “He can beat me at everything? He can’t beat me at jiu-jitsu, he can’t beat me at stand-up, and he can’t beat me at wrestling.”
