Video: Luke Rockhold Injury
Luke Rockhold reinjured his leg in training late last week and is now definitely not fighting Alexander Gustafson this summer. I'm told he's hoping to return in October, at the earliest. Here's a video he provided to me of his shin getting stitched up. (Warning: GRAPHIC) pic.twitter.com/CDQseH7nUN
