Matt Parrino from UFC.com was live at the open workouts for Fight Night Pittsburgh where he caught up with Luke Rockhold. When asked if there’s a chance he’s looking past his opponent, David Branch, Rockhold was very direct in his response. Check out the clip below.

If Rockhold’s layoff dimmed any memories about his dominance, his workout for those in attendance was a vivid reminder:
Been 15 months since we saw @LukeRockhold inside Octagon. Let this clip jog memory. Says he’ll welcome David Branch up from minor leagues. pic.twitter.com/KOmGsYVry4
