With a win over former light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, Luke Rockhold is possibly in line for a middleweight title shot between the winner of Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort.
Rockhold and Machida are set to collide on April 18th in the main event for UFC on Fox 15. It's the biggest fight of Rockhold's career so he was no doubt devastated when he found out Machida was injured and out of their fight.
Machida was not injured of course, but newly minted BJPenn.com video reporter Layzie the Savage saw it as the perfect opportunity to prank Rockhold. Savage wrote up a fake article on BJPenn.com which Rockhold was reading at the time that Savage was recording him.
Savage took things to a new level by actually pulling his stunt on March 31st, the night before April Fools day. Rockhold didn't stand a chance, and didn't take kindly to the shenanigans as he hurled his cell phone in the direction of Savage.
