Watch Luke Rockhold's Strikeforce Fight Journal

In this fun little video from All Elbows, Luke Rockhold is shadowed throughout a day of media appearances as he prepares for his first title defense at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine on Saturday night. Rockhold discusses his thoughts on the UFC and having a chip on his shoulder about sometimes being overlooked by fans who only follow the UFC. He also talks about facing Keith Jardine, Muhammed 'King Mo' Lawal and Brock Lesnar, who Rockhold doesn't seem to feel is a true fighter. We also see Rockhold meeting Jardine, who is refreshingly pleasant and grateful to Rockhold for taking the fight with him. Rockhold does more video and interviewing and there are some aesthetically pleasing shirtless shots while he is explaining that the fighting is the easy part and that the pre-fight hyping and press is the part he really doesn't care for. And, he got a special bag for Christmas to hold his championship belt, which he says he prefers to not sleep with because he likes to give it its own bed.

Rockhold also goes to open workouts where he gets a chance to chat with some folks about the Alistair Overeem vs. Junior dos Santos match-up and then King Mo mocks Rockhold because he can't jump. And, of course we see the workouts, which are fun and as a bonus we see Layzie the Savage from Middleeasy.com take a front kick to the stomach from Rockhold. Good times.
