"Screaming idiot." Rockhold remembers sparring with Strickland

Former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold remembered how he once had a chance to spar with another ex-title holder Sean Strickland.

“He was acting like a loudmouth asshole and I was like, ‘Who the hell is this dude?’ I was in a bad mood, I was pissed off about everything, and I thought, ‘Damn, I’ll spar with this guy. I can’t stand it.”

He's quite cunning. I went to the toilet, wrapped a paper towel around my teeth, making something like a damp school mouth guard, and sparred. It was competitive sparring and I would love to do it again,” Rockhold said in an interview with the JAXXON Podcast.

Let us remind you that on January 20 at the UFC 297 tournament, Strickland lost to Drikus Du Plessis by a split decision and lost his belt.
