Following comments from Dana White this past weekend, whereby he told Luke Rockhold he needs to earn a title shot like Demian Maia has, the former middleweight champ has fired back.
Rockhold has been an outspoken critic about the UFC’s original plans to have Georges St-Pierre fight reigning 185 champ, Michael Bisping. After UFC 211, while discussing the fact Maia has earned a title shot, White noted Rockhold’s KO loss to Bisping and said the American doesn’t “deserve” anything.
On Tuesday, the following comments were sent out from Rockhold’s Twitter account:
@danawhite I never said I deserved a title shot. I said we (middleweights) deserve clarity. We deserve something to fight for.

@danawhite "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

Recently White announced that Yoel Romero will fight Bisping next, and not St-Pierre, since the latter won’t be ready to fight until after October.
