Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold is hoping his next title defense will be against Tim Kennedy and although nothing has been made official at this point, Rockhold is preparing for Kennedy either way and discussed the possible fight this week with MMAWeekly.com:

"I'm excited about the fight with Kennedy. I think he's highly underrated, very tough dude, he poses a lot of challenges. I'll be ready. It looks like it's finally going to happen. I've been waiting for that one for a long time, and I'm excited. I'm getting on my wrestling, I was wrestling yesterday. Wrestling's a key for this fight, I gotta control the wrestling."
