Rockhold, most recently, defeated Machida by second-round submission in the headliner of UFC on FOX 15 earlier this year. Currently riding a four-fight winning streak, he also holds a stoppage over Michael Bisping.

UFC 194 takes place live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Dec. 12. In the main event, Jose Aldo faces Conor McGregor to unify the featherweight championship.
