“There is the difficult fight and the easy fight. I truly believe I can make this fight look easy. If I go there without any distractions, being myself, I'm going to kick this idiot's ass. (…) He takes breaks (during fights) and, if I can come up with a plan, I can knock him out. (…) Besides, he’s f***ed if he tries to take me to the ground”, provoked the North American.
Away from the Octagon since July 2019, when he was knocked out by the Pole Jan Blachowicz, Rockhold wants to prove that he is still an elite athlete in the middleweight division. Before the hiatus, Luke had lost three in his last four fights and was going through a difficult time in the organization. Former UFC and Strikeforce champion and professional athlete since 2008, the American has a record in the sport of 16 triumphs and five setbacks.
